Get the Right Ticket
For cost-effective and convenient travel, purchase a Navigo card or a booklet of t+ tickets. Alternatively, download the “Bonjour RATP” app. These tickets can be used on the Metro, bus, tram, and RER lines within central Paris.

Board the Correct Train
Always check the direction of the train by looking at its terminus station name, ensuring you’re headed the right way.

Stay Aware
Like in any major city, stay alert to pickpockets. Keep personal belongings secure, especially during rush hours and in crowded stations.

Plan with Apps
Use apps such as RATP or Citymapper for real-time updates, route planning, and notifications about any service disruptions.

Look for ‘Correspondance’
These signs guide you through transfers between different Metro lines or other transport connections. Follow them carefully to reach your next train or mode of transport.

Note Multiple Exits
Many Metro stations have several exits. Watch for exit (sortie) numbers or street names to ensure you emerge where you need to be.
