Book of Metro tickets

 

After the 3 day Paris Pass expires, we still had a few days left and we were gonna be using the metro alot.

Again, this was a tip from Jay Swanson’s youtube videos, https://www.youtube.com/user/Cadelfwch.

It is convenient to get a book of tickets (10 passes), it is slightly cheaper than buying every time and in our case, we went through them like water.

If you are staying within Paris inner zone, these are the what you will use for Metro, but and other public transportation.

RER C – To Palace of Versailles

From our place in Strasbourg- Saint Denis, we jumped on the Metro 8 to reach the Invalides station. This is where you jump on the RER C (trains that go outside of inner Paris).

We took some stairs and got to the RER part of the station (different hall and platforms).

 

The RER trains are 2 level compared to the metro (at least the metros we used on this trip).

Monitor tells you want train has arrived its destination as well as the next trains and destinations with times.

 

RER train with upper and lower levels.

 

If you can see on the far bottom left of the station map, our stop was going to be Versailles – Chateau/ Rive-Gauche stop.

 

A good 45 minute ride (if that) and we are here.

Arrival!
