Hi,

My husband and I are going to be in Paris from 12/24/07 (Monday) till 12/31/07 (Monday). We are going to purchase the Carte Orange pass. However, we are not sure whether we want the zones 1-2 or zones 1-5 passes. Can we buy it at CDG (zone 5) right after arrival so that we can use it to get to the apartment? We also plan to visit Versailles (zone 4) and Disneyland (zone 5). Are we going to save much money by getting zones 1-2 passes and then buy extensions?

Thank you,
Ellen

Yes, you can buy the Carte Orange at CDG.

A zone 1-5 CO costs €32.10. You wouldn't be able to use it for your return to CDG because it's good Monday-Sunday. A zone 1-2 CO costs €16.30.

Here is the price for individual tickets:
CDG-Paris, €8.20 each way
Paris-Versailles, €2.80 each way
Paris-Disneyland, €6.30 each way

In my previous post I forgot to give you my conclusions. A zone 1-5 Carte Orange will cost you less than a zone 1-2 CO plus individual tickets for your rides beyond zone 2.

Thank you so much, Tim. Your reply was extremely helpful.

You're welcome, Ellen.
