@milanpaunovic9292 There is a store for the carrier Orange at 13 Place de la Republique. Do you have a phone that can accommodate an eSim?

What is e sim? I have Samsung Galaxy

@@milanpaunovic9292 That means it's an electronic SIM where you don't have to use a physical SIM card

I dont know what is electronic Sim card! Here , in Belgrade I can by sim card at first street store, like baquet in Paris.

Can I by the sim card in Orange store, for cash?

Yes, there's a post office pretty close, it's at 97 Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, 75011.

Thank you very much.

Cao. Where I can by french sim card near the Parmentier metro station? I have Serbian pasport

@ Do you have a phone that uses eSIM?

@SuperSonicDude164 Yes, you can! I do it all the time - I love using my Apple watch to access public transport in Paris! Thanks for your question. Happy riding!

@SuperSonicDude164 Bonjour - No, you don't need to swipe your card out of the bus or the metro, but you do need to swipe out on the RER. Thanks for your question and hope you enjoy some great bus rides in Paris!

@milanpaunovic9292 Hello, you CAN buy a ticket on the bus. The cost as of January 1, 2025 is 2€. You must pay in CASH (no bank cards) and you must have EXACT CHANGE. The bus driver can't make change. When you buy a ticket inside the bus, you can't use that ticket for any other network (like metro or RER). Transfers are only authorized for bus <-> bus or bus <-> tram. Hope this helps!

Hello. Can you tell me where the exact stop of line 96 near Parmentier metro station is now? Across the street from Mc Donalds maybe? Thanks

@@milanpaunovic9292 It looks like there are a few 96 bus stops near Parmentier. One is at about 41 Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud. This bus line heads in the south/west direction. Another is on the center island at the intersection of Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud and Boulevard Richard-Lenoir. This bus line also heads in the south/west direction. It looks like there's another at about 80 Rue Oberkampf. This bus line heads in the north/east direction. Hope this helps!

towards Monparnasse train station

@@milanpaunovic9292 Toward Montparnasse from Parmentier would be going south/west.

@@hereweare7732 Thank you for your feedback and thank you for watching. I hope you have an amazing time!! Enjoy!!

@andreehardi9688 I'm glad you found the video helpful. Yes, you can take your luggage on the bus. Many people do this and I see it all the time. FYI, there is a place on the bus that has no seats, and is designed for people to stand. It is typically directly across from the rear exit door. Usually I see people with baby strollers and luggage ride in this area. I like to ride here with a suitcase because it's hard to fit a suitcase next to you when sitting in a regular seat. Gare Austerlitz has some great bus lines nearby. ENJOY!! Wishing you a wonderful time seeing Paris on the bus! 🚌 Thank you for your question and thank you for watching How to Take the Paris Bus - The Ultimate Quick Guide!

@@letsdoparis thanks for your very helpful and encouraging response . I've already subscribed your channel.

@angus7278 Hello, my fellow Paris bus rider! So great to hear this. And I agree. A longer wait at the stop, but much nicer views. Thank you for your feedback. Happy travels to you!

@@seungkim3829 I recommend the 72, which goes across town along the seine (note - use direction west to east for the best river view). The 69, which goes from the Eiffel Tower through Saint Germain and le Marais to past Père Lachaise. The 80, which goes from Montmartre to the Eiffel Tower and then to Porte Versailles. Bon voyage !!

@stevepassenger Thanks for the intel. I don't know much about Android, but there are a lot of Android users that will find this very helpful! Merci!

@stevepassenger Good to know. Thank you for sharing this info. Hope you enjoy your time in Paris!

@jeongko4247 That's wonderful! I am SO GLAD to hear that you're planning to use these phrases. A few key phrases can make a big difference in the treatment you receive from French locals. Have fun!

@jeongko4247 This makes me so happy to hear! I absolutely love using the bus in Paris and I hope you will, too. Happy travels!

@jeongko4247 Thank you! That's very kind and I appreciate the compliment. I do try to eat healthy and exercise, which CAN be done, even when you're traveling to a city with great wine and food, like Paris.

@Cuttlefish233 Hahaha, I didn't notice that. Thanks for watching and joining in the conversation!

@caterobertson9575 So glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your input! You're so right - the bus is great for those who have mobility issues, scooters included. FYI, according to the RATP website, 87% of bus routes (as of 2023) have been declared accessible, and the rest are being adapted. It's so great to hear from someone who's had a great experience using the Paris bus system. Thank you for contributing! 🚍

Many métro stations have lifts but you need to know where and that's not always well indicated inside the stations. But you have apps giving you detailed station maps with where everything is inside the stations.

@jacmaclar Thank you for subscribing and thank you for your questions! Here are my responses: 1 - Yes, you may buy Navigo tickets in the USA before arriving in Paris. You may do this using the Bonjour RATP app on your iPhone. You may ALSO buy Navigo tickets to put on your smartphone or smartwatch via the IDF Mobilités app. (In this video, I use the Bonjour app.) 2 - Yes, you may also buy a Navigo pass (month, week, day) in the USA before arriving in Paris. You can do this via the Bonjour RATP app on your smartphone. You can also use the IDF Mobilités app. 3 - Yes, most US credit cards will work with the metro vending machines. I have used US bank cards extensively with no problem. I hope this answers your questions. If you'd like more clarification, just let me know. Hope you have a great time in Paris!

@@letsdoparis Thanks for the info! In other words , I may purchase either RER B tickets from CDG to Paris plus Metro Zone 1+2 tickets with my Bonjour RATP app by clicking the Apple Watch icon, in the Bonjour RATP App, when buying a ticket(s) and the tickets (for both) will automatically show up on my Apple Watch-or must I get another app for this to happen? Thanks again!

@sergioautoelettriche... Thank you for your question. You do not have to buy a Navigo Easy card IF you use your smartphone or smartwatch as an electronic ticket. In these cases, you use your smartphone or smartwatch IN PLACE OF a Navigo card. But if you prefer to use a plastic Navigo Easy card, then YES, you will have to buy one either at a metro station or at a tabac. The cost for a Navigo Easy card is 2 euro. While you can purchase rides (or a pass) for the card at a metro station (at a metro ticket machine or at the booth where a live person works), you can also use the Ile de France Mobilités app or the Bonjour app to buy tickets and load them directly on your Navigo Easy card using your smartphone. I hope this helps. Happy travels! 🚌🇫🇷

@@letsdoparis quindi tu consigli di utilizzare 4 smartphone e quindi risparmiare nel nostro caso 8 euro? tra l'altro mi servirebbe solo per due giorni. Ma questo sistema tramite smartphone con nfc funziona sempre? Grazie mille per il tuo supporto, saremo per la prima volta a Parigi a metà ottobre

@@sergioautoelettriche... If you're not worried about your smartphone or smartwatch battery running out, yes, I would recommend using your smartphone or smartwatch instead of your Navigo Easy. While I can't guarantee the smartphone or smartwatch will work every single time, here is my experience: I have been using my Apple Watch for my bus and metro tickets for several months now. I keep a spare Navigo Easy card with me, just in case, but so far I have not had to use it. I find that using my Apple Watch is much easier -- I just have to make sure I don't run out of battery. Happy travels!

@@letsdoparis thanks!!! you are very kind.

@@sergioautoelettriche... You’re very welcome. Happy to help. Have fun in Paris!!

@venumadhav6756 Thank you for your question! Yes, when using a Paris metro day pass (or week pass or month pass), you must validate EACH TRIP by passing your pass (card or smartphone or smartwatch) in front of the card reader. This will give you access to your chosen mode of transportation. I hope this helps. Happy travels!

@marcelcharbonnier297 Fantastic recommendation! I just love visiting the parks in Paris and I'm looking forward to taking bus 43 and visiting le Parc de Bagatelle. (I'll make sure to post my travels.) Thank you for sharing your wonderful discoveries with me and the Let's Do Paris channel! 🙏🙏🙏

@marcelcharbonnier297 YES and THANK YOU! I love these recommendations. Please feel free to share any other tips you have for your favorite bus lines. Always glad to hear from folks who love riding the bus in Paris! 🙏🙏🙏

@mistersquirrel0 Thanks for your question. First, the system will not allow transfer from metro to bus (or vice versa) on the same ticket. You need to use separate tickets for that. Second, (from what I understand) for bus-to-bus transfers, YES, you CAN do this with one ticket. But from what I understand, you can only do this with a paper ticket that you buy at a tabac or metro station ahead of time. (No electronic tickets, nor tickets that you buy directly from the bus driver when you're already on the bus.) Also, you must do this transfer within 90 minutes from the first validation to the last validation. AND it must be on a separate bus line. Meaning, for example, you canNOT start on the 72 bus, then get off for a little while, then get back on the 72 bus using the same ticket. That would cost TWO tickets, not one. You could, however, transfer from the 72 bus to another bus line aside from the 72, as long as it's within 90 minutes of the first validation. Note that I have not yet tried this, but this is what the RATP says. If you're planning on using public transportation a lot, you may want to calculate the cost of day or week passes, and see if that's more economical for you. Thanks for watching and happy traveling!

@@letsdoparis Merci beaucoup Mme. Gen-Xer, much appreciated. Sincerely, from a tail end Boomer. 🙂

@mistersquirrel0 Hahaha! Hope you enjoy your time in Paris. Thanks for watching! 🇫🇷

@jeffersondavison4124 Once you're on the bus, you can buy a bus ticket via SMS without cash, ONLY if you have a mobile plan with the French carriers Bouygues, Orange, SFR or Free. Otherwise you'll have to buy via credit card BEFORE you get on the bus. Hope this helps and happy traveling!

soo much to expect from 1st world country to find a solution for simple problem. As the tourist have bus stop near their accomodation, you expecting walking to Metro station to purchase paper ticket for bus? What kind of brain do they actually have.

@@airforcetribes Don’t fret, they actually DO have a simple solution! You can now buy a bus ticket on your smartphone and use your smartphone (or smart watch) as an electronic ticket, so you don’t have to go to a metro station or anywhere else to get a paper ticket. It’s fabulous and you should try it. Check out my video and my short that show you how to do it. It’s super easy!!! Good luck and happy traveling. 🚍

@gregoryhageage6362 Hahaha I think there's a little Gil Pender in all of us Paris-lovers, but I'm with you... NOT where walking in the rain is concerned! ☔

@@letsdoparisI have to admit there is a lotta Gil Pender in me. And that is a good thing…

Yes, I know, tickets are much more expensive right now because of the Olympics. I hear the prices are supposed to go back to normal in September.

The Bus is not so expensive EXCEPT when using unit tickets. It is as cheap as the metro with a day, week, month pass. Looks more expensive but you may hop on, hop off any nymber of times during the selected period and the selected zones (Central Paris is Zone 1 and Zone 2)

@lwzdo05 Agree! The view would be GREAT! 👀

Thanks @gregoryhageage6362 ! So glad to meet a fellow bus traveler. Being from L.A., I totally get the "ewwww" looks. The #69 bus is a fantastic ride. I also love the #72, riding along the river and enjoying the sites. Thanks for watching and reaching out! Hope you're enjoying your Paris summer!

@@letsdoparis: Yes, for sure the #72! And the #24, the#29, the #67 and #68… well, you know. Ride On!

@@gregoryhageage6362 I actually don't know those lines so thank you for the tips! Now I'm dying to go for a ride... 🚌

@@letsdoparisde rien ! I’m partial to guide books, so I’ve used the Guide des Autobus Parisiens by Editions A. Leconte. Might’ve picked it up at Brentano’s on Av. de l’Opéra🤔? Et vous ? App or guidebook, or just pick a bus and go?

@@gregoryhageage6362 Guidebooks are a great idea, but me I either discover rides when I'm running errands or I just pick a bus and go!

So glad you're enjoying the tips, @westnova ! It's amazing how much better people respond when we offer politeness according to THEIR (not our) standards! I really wish someone had told me these tips sooner, but I'm more than happy to pass on what I've learned. 😃

@PatriciaBrooksCourageCatalyst Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it (and get it)! Have a great summer and stay in the flow!

@longislandthrifter You're going to love them all. But be careful, you may never want to leave... !

@@letsdoparis I know! Paris is ALWAYS a good idea!!!

@@letsdopariswhy next to Eiffel Tower, everything so over priced by thete

@lizmugaveroauthor So glad you enjoyed it!

@VC_Home4Now Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. In its own way, that poodle led me to Paris. It's amazing what happens when you follow the pawprints... 🐾🐾

@robertenskog46 Great to hear!! Thanks for the update. Glad to know it’s working for you! SO MUCH EASIER, right? 🙌🙌🙌

@GDBibou1494 Good to know! Thank you for the information on Galaxy watch. Mains libres - c'est le top !! 👏

@@letsdoparis if i remember correctly it just need the Ile de France mobilite and idk the other app

@GDBibou1494 Yes, that's correct. You can buy through the Bonjour app. I have a video on it but I use Apple Watch - so it doesn't cover Android. But this could give you an idea of how it works: ruclips.net/video/fVVB9kha4wE/видео.html Hope it helps! Hands free makes it SO EASY.

@@letsdoparis yes but because I go rarely in paris, I don't really need that, but still cool to know that

@@letsdoparis thanks a lot. Of all the videos I saw yours is the only one that is up-to-date.!

@Shimangamubitana I am, and you just made my day!! Thank you!!! ☺🙏☺🙏☺🙏

@alisonlazar7634 So glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching. Hope it helps next time you take public transport in Paris!

Hi @etherealstory7659! - No, sad to say, your Apple Watch wallet tickets are separate from iPhone wallet. You'll have to buy for iPhone wallet separately if you want to use your iPhone for a digital Navigo card. 😠 BTW, I don't see a lot of people using iPhone wallet for that yet, but I did see one young couple use their iPhones to access the bus. Loved that! - Yes, and no. YES, you need to double tap the button then scroll to the Navigo card, but NO, it doesn't have to be when holding the watch near the reader. I did mine before I got near the reader. If you watch at the end of the video, when I'm trying out the metro, I have the card ready, when I'm going down the metro stairs. SO GLAD YOU LOVE THE VIDEO. Let me know if you have any other questions about Paris that I can make into a video for you. Have fun and Let's Do Paris! 🇫🇷

@@letsdoparis thanks for clarifying~ 🥰🥰🥰 will be in Paris later this month and will be so much more convenient to be able to use Navigo on Apple Watch~ ❤️

Wonderful!! Have a fantastic time and hope you enjoy this beautiful city!!

@etherealstory7659 - More great news! I just discovered that you don't even need to double-click to use your Navigo card on Apple Watch if you enable "Express Mode." 🙌👏🥳 Here's how you enable Express Mode on your Navigo card in Apple Watch wallet: 1. Go to your Apple Watch wallet by double-clicking the side button of your Apple Watch 2. Scroll until you see the Ile de France Navigo card 3. Tap the Navigo card to select it 4. Scroll down to "Card Details" and tap the "i" information icon 5. Scroll down to Express Mode 6. Tap to turn on Express Mode Once you're ready to use it on public transport, Here's what Apple says to do: How to use Express Mode on your iPhone or Apple Watch - Hold the top of your iPhone or the display of your Apple Watch near the contactless reader. - When the transaction is successful, a checkmark and Done appear on your device. If you're riding transit, the terminal gate opens and might beep. - That's it-no need to wake or unlock your device, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, or open the Wallet app. Hope this helps!!

De rien ! Hope you're enjoying the channel. 🇫🇷

Glad to hear it helped. Taking the bus is SO easy - you must try it next time you're in Paris! 🚌

YES, and it's so convenience! Not having to dig around for your metro card...? Heaven. Hassle free and hands free. ⌚️

Glad this helped! These apps keep me (somewhat) sane when I want to get around Paris with as few surprises as possible. 😌
