To ride the métro (and other modes of public transport like buses) and pay your fare, you need to get a Navigo card or in certain cases, paper tickets are also available. You can also use the mobile app which lets you buy fares ahead of time and load them directly on your phone!

Navigo Day Pass & Mobilis day ticket
If you travel a lot (6+ times in a day), a day pass will probably save you money. Day passes range from 7,50 (for 2 fare zones) to 17,80 (for all 5 fare zones) depending on how many fare zones you want. Day passes are loaded onto a Navigo Easy card, Navigo Découverte card, or purchased through the mobile app.
If you don't have a card or the app, the Mobilis day ticket is a day ticket which costs the same.
Weekly and Monthly Passes
If you want a weekly or monthly pass, you will first need to purchase a Navigo Découverte card for 5 euros and you'll also need a picture or your uncovered face. You can also purchase weekly and monthly passes through the mobile app (which is free to download).
Weekly passes are 22,80 and include all 5 fare zones. Monthly passes are also available at the cost of 75,20 and also include all 5 fare zones.

Navigo cards & how to pay
The Navigo card is a reloadable, plastic smart card on which you can load fares over and over again. There are 3 different types of Navigo cards and below I explain each one. You can also pay with your phone or use paper tickets.
- Navigo Easy card: . If you are visiting for a few days or ride occasionally and are looking for simplicity, Navigo Easy is for you! You receive discounts on books of 10 t+ tickets and airport bus tickets and you can also load day passes onto the card. A new card costs 2€ and can be purchased at an information booth in any métro/RER station.
- Navigo Découverte card: If you want a weekly or monthly pass and are not an Île-de-France resident, the Navigo Découverte card is what you need! It lets you store daily, weekly, and monthly passes. A new card costs 5€ and you'll also need a 3.5 x 4.1 photo of your face (in color, uncovered fare). To get a new card, go to a "comptoir-club" (or "counter-club") in select métro and RER stations. These stations are marked with an asterisk (*) on the métro/RER map.
- The Personalized Navigo card is only for the locals, as you must be a resident in the Île-de-France region in order to get it. To get it, go online or to an agency in your city/neighborhood with an ID and a proof of address. It is issued free of charge but costs 8€ to replace. Only one card per person.
