Great video thanks. Must admit when I looked at the map and venues my immediate logical thought was ‘why not just make all urban Paris transit free for 4 weeks’. It would move crowds better and stop congestion at ticket barriers and queues etc. I know it costs money to waive fares but it’s gained in other benefits.
They had to build a few more lines for the Olympics Games, and they wanted this investment to be partly paid by spectators paying a higher price for transportation.
Thank you for all the tips. Based on a prior video of yours, we ended up purchasing two sets each of the 10-ticket carnets on our RATP mobile apps before the price hike. We'll be overlapping with the Paralympic Games.
Superb! As always!👌...looking forward to see the most beautiful Olympics inauguration along the Seine River🗼🥰...i just feel it will be breathtaking!✨️ pd. just arrived from Turkey...as beautiful it is; Paris & France the most beautiful country i have ever experienced!💜🩵💚
@@paristoptipscan you confirm if the t+ ticket covers the whole metro? If I need to get to La Defense, as long as I stay in the metro network this is okay and will cost only 1 ticket? I am thinking I can just stick to he metro for my whole trip to save money
@@cccddd8214 Absolutely! T+ tickets cover all metro stations on all metro lines, at the only (and new) exception of the Orly Airport on line 14. If you go to la Défense, you will need only 1 t+ ticket on métro Line 1, but you'll need a more expensive point-to-point ticket on RER lines A and E.
@@paristoptipsthe IDF mobilities app is saying I can take two metro lines (2 and 1) to get to la defense so thinking I can do that? Is it not cheaper to just use the metro during a stay, or is the metro a nightmare during rush hour?
@@cccddd8214 Depending on where you start from, I guess they're saying you'll have to take line 2, and then 1 to La Défense. At rush hours (8:00 to 9:30 and 16:00 to 19:00), they will get crowded, but, hey, that's the Paris Experience! 😁
Thank you for a great video! I have a question about validating tickets. If I buy 7 day pass on new olympics app and validate it on a Roissy Bus from CDG Airport is it all I need to do? It's validated for 7 whole days and I don't need to use the phone on buses, RER etc.? Or do I do it every time I enter any transport?
파리올림픽 기간동안 나비고 이지카드 가격이 올라 나비고 이지카드에 파리 패스권을 충전하여 쓸 수 있다는데 이건 어떻게 충전하는건지 궁금합니다. 일드프랑스모빌리티 홈페이지에서 미리 구매할 수 있다고 하는데 1달 정도 전에 하라고 해서 제가 8월 1일에 가기 때문에 지금 어떻게 해야 할지 고민입니다.. 그리고 해당 기간동안 나비고 1일/1주일권을 판매 중단한다는데 이게 무슨 소리인가요? 그럼 젠느도 없어진 걸까요..?
You can charge individual t+ tickets in advance on your Navigo Easy card. You can also charge a Navigo monthly pass from the 20th of July, for August, but during the Games, both Navigo Day and Navigo Week Passes will be suppressed.
Is it now possible to validate tickets directly on an iPhone? I know before this only worked for Android users. I'm wondering if it makes sense to purchase the Olympics pass on the app or if its better to get a Navigo card in case there are technical glitches with using my phone.
hi, thanks for the video, but I don't understand how to purchase the aris 2024 pass, when I click on buy it redirect me on the daily one that cost 16 euros....is it just avaible on site or is it possible to buy it online? thanks !!
@@edoardodeluisa2797 The Paris pass is this daily one at 16€. And the more consecutive days you purchase the cheaper the daily price is, down to 19€ per day for 7 days.
Hey! Thanks for the vid. If i buy the paris 2024 pass for 4 days at 52€, does it activate after purchase or can I buy it in advance ? Let’s say i haven’t flown to Paris yet but I wanna reserve the pass can I buy it a week in advance? Finally do I just scan my phone at the metro station or do I need a Navigo pass? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for video, but I’m not sure how to buy a ticket for 7 days :c I’d like to do it now, but I’m not sure how to activate ticket. I can’t choose a day of start using ticket :( (I’ll come to Paris in next Friday)
@@katarzynaturkiewicz4196 As we are now in the Olympics period, you can't purchase a weekly Navigo pass at 30€ ticket. You have to purchase Paris pass 7 days for 70€.
Hi! Thank you for the tips. I'm going with my daughter to visit Paris during the Olympics and I'm going to follow your tips and by the transport tickets now. My phone is contact less, so I can buy the tickets in the app. My question is, can I use the app in my phone for me and my daughter if I add two different credit cards? Thanks
@@paristoptips My family and I will be there for the first time during the Olympics and are very excited. Your video and information is greatly appreciated! 🙂
Paris in the middle of the Summer, prices increased by quite a lot, masses of people for the Olympics? No. This is not for me: I would rather watch the Olympics on the TV in the comfort of my home and visit Paris in Oct/Nov when everything gets back to normal, I hope 😇
I totally agree with you. Considering the crazy prices of most competitions, most Parisians will do the same... or even better, take some time away from Paris during the games!
To whoever may read that comment, apologies for the serious tone of this comment, but if you happened to have plan to come to Paris for those Olympics, please just change it, choose another destination. France is currently ruled by an authentically totalitarian, autocratic regime. Democracy has fallen here. Individual freedoms are increasingly threatened. If you love France and want to help the French people, then just boycott the event so that it can be turned into a major failure in the face of the world for Macron and his minions. Please be also aware that the people who make up this regime are truly incompetent, with the mainstream media constantly covering up their blunders. For several years this incompetence has been responsible for an increase in violent crime in the country. It's really worrying that these people could be entrusted with the organization of such an event.
I'm not sure my channel has to be the place for a rant against the French president and his government. And then, if there are many problems in Paris now, they are mostly to be blamed on the Mayor of Paris. Please no more political sided comments or I'll have to mute you on my channel
Personally, it's really disgusting that they forbid ppl to buy normal transportation ticket but only double priced 'special' tickets. Sounds so scamming and feels abused as a foreigner. Now I know that why ppl call France 'China in Europe'
The reason they gave for that, is that they had to create multiple new lines of metro and RER for the Olympics, and that the increase in fare during the game is here to help with the investment.
