How long is a carnet (Metro tickets) good for?
We will be in Paris for two days before we meet our group and two days after the tour. If we don't use all ten tickets during the first two days, can those tickets be used the following week?<BR><BR>Rita<BR><BR>

No problem with expiration that I've found. The only problem is that they can become demagnitized (I had a purse with magnetic clasps that drove me nuts--ruined an entire carnet that way). So just watch where you put the tickets (another use for the plastic bags we tell everyone to pack!).

I go through Paris two or three times a year, and so a carnet of ten tickets usually lasts me a year or two. I've never found a problem with using the tickets: they don't seem to have an expiry date.

Can a carnet of tickets be shared by two people? Or must each person buy their own? <BR><BR>Are they litterly a booklet with ten little coupons, or is it more complex?

They are ten individual tickets about the size of the ticket that you get at the deli counter or bakery.

yea, not a booklet, just ten tickets to be used any way at all. And I always buy mine at a ticket booth inside the metro.

The 10 tickets in a carnet can be used by any number of people and are good for as long as needed.

If your ticket doesnt work or becomes demagnitized you can try to exchange it, they have always done it for me except for one time when the clerck insisted it had been used on the bus and i had never ridden the bus.
