Wow Such an INSIGHTFUL QUEEN !! Really great summary of transportation in Paris. Vidéo was great !
Couldn't Agree more !
@@fred_silva Y'ALL. 🤣🤣♥️
Thank you my cutest cutieeeee ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So informative. Thank you. You save us from many mistakes :DDD for example with RER . I cant believe that they are doing so.
I'm so glad it's useful Aiste!! 💖🙌
The Paris transports are a headache but they are so good as well! 😂
Helpful
😋 I'm glad !
Thanks for your informative video. I have been several times to Paris via CDG and have taken different ones to get to the city. I liked the Weekly/Monthly method except for issues with getting my picture made to give the person to complete that ticket (machine for photo was not being friendly even complying with the instructions). I will know more next time based on your video. Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the photos. It's so important to have a passport photo otherwise they will try and fine you :(.
I'm glad you found this video helpful! I hope your future trips will continue to get better and more enjoyable! ☺️💖🎉
Thanks for the follow up. I had my passport of course but not an extra photo and they had be go to the nearby kiosk photo. But, it eventually worked out ok. Having that ticket got me on and off RER, Metro, bus.@@Moemaguerra
hi. do you have video for train travel from CDG to Lourdes train station?
This is very helpful, informative and detailed. Thank you. Do they have a lift on underground metros?
Thank you Hzl !! ♥️
There are many stations that have escalators, some will have elevators. Unfortunately, metros in Paris are not the most luggage or disability friendly :/
The more modern/new the station or even touristy, the more likely you are to have elevators.
Thanks for all this info! We are visiting on November with just a checked bag. What do you recommend to get from CDG to the 16th arrondissement?
Hiii !!
So exciting 😋
The average travel time is 1h30 via public transports and 1h via taxi.
If you take the public transport I recommend taking the Rossy Bus which actually stops at Opera, from there, take line 9 to the 16th.
I recommend the bus because it's less stressful and it stops in such a beautiful area of the city.
However, do double check any app such as Google/citymapper to make sure you are taking the most efficient route for the day and time you arrive at !
Enjoy your stay 😋
This from you visitor in to go insid to Paris ! Pleased looking an eard explication's from one good tourism in capital frenchy. Thinck an good lock for your holliday paris.
Thank you so much. Very simple and informative video. We are visiting on October staying 19th for 3 days which travel pass you recommend ?
I'm glad it's helpful!
I know there are 3 days unlimited travel passes available here. You can also look into the tourism pass for museums and attractions that they mention at the end:
booking.parisinfo.com/il4-offer_i149-paris-visite-pass-unlimited-travel.aspx
Thank you for this useful video, just need to know is the weekly Navigo pass still available? It is not listed on the website you provided in the video.!!!
Hello Mick !
It seems to still be available from what popped on my Google searches. Please refer to the link below

Hi Moema. I am coming to Paris in May. I just wanted to ask, for a solo female traveller what is the safest way from terminal 2 CDG airport to Ivry sur seine (a little bit outside main paris...closest station on google maps was port de choisy). Im landing at 20;35 hours so by the time i clear immigration and get my luggage it may be 10 pm ....should i take rerB train and then the tram ? The airbnb is 10 minutes walk from port de choisy....is that safe for me to walk at like 11-12 at night? Or sgould i take a cab?
A very thorough description of Paris transport thank you. I’ll be travelling alone in May. Would you have pointers for me? Clearly, not to travel/walk after dark. 👏🇦🇺
Hi Anne,
I'm glad appreciate the details in this.
Please don't get me wrong, you can walk after dark, just not everywhere, this is with any major city especially not when carrying precious items with you.
I would make sure to download citymapper or Google maps (the map within the app so if you don't have internet you can still use it).
I would just try to walk where possible throughout the day just so that you can really see the streets and enjoy the architecture.
Honestly just follow the pretty streets.
Obvious one but truly avoid rush hour on the metro so the typical 8h to 9h and 5pm to 6pm, especially if taking line 4,9,13 or RERs.
Learn a few words in french.
And if you are lost at a station go to an information desk or anyone wearing the metros logo.
I'm not sure what else to cover but here to answer other questions although I'm not a certified guide, just an old local :)
Have a wonderful trip !!
Thank you so much Moema. I really appreciate the thought you put into this response. Really great suggestions. Yes, I have Google maps and Google translate. I can get by using simple everyday French. Studied the language for 6 years. I am so looking fwd to visiting your wonderful city. Only 16 days away. 🇦🇺🇫🇷
@@AnneMB955 No worries Anne, super excited for you ✨💓🥳
I miss the city and can't wait to return there in June :)
I hope you'll have a lovely and safe trip there.
Do note, movies overly romanticise the city and make the cute buildings look really close when they are not 😅...
Thank you for clear advice. I'm glad you mentioned buses,they almost never get a you tube mention. How do you pay for your bus ride on Paris buses. Do you just show your day pass,I mean the metro one also,to the driver,or do you scan it as you board. Are Paris buses cashless like London. I've heard you can't use contact less. I'm researching for my upcoming trip as I think some things have changed a bit since my 2019 visit,then covid intervened. I think I'm lucky and privileged to get this chance to go one more time. I got around well on the metro,its super easy to use,same as the London tube but en francais. But I was too scared to get on a bus in case I got an unhelpful driver + I don't speak French. Which is bad and lazy I know,but I got by. Any advice on using the bus in Paris from anyone who reads this very welcome.
Hi Jane !!
I'm glad, thank you.
You will have a tapping machine but Paris has no contactless payment anywhere yet.
For the bus, you buy the ticket on board via message, or you tap your ticket/phone (with the transport app and purchased ticket only) in the tap machine. If you have a paper ticket (unsure if it is still a thing for buses) but there is a little whole under the tapping machine where you insert it to get it validated.
Ticket app in the video description.
I really hope this is clear. Have a safe and fun trip 💕
@@Moemaguerra thanks so much. I must try at least one bus. I'm not that good with tech. I'm 60+ not that it's any excuse. I know 80+ folk who are ace at tech and computers. I learn by trying. I'm so looking forward to my visit to the magical city although I actually live in a UK city that's pretty nearly as cool as Paris. I live in Bristol in the West of England. We used to be famous for Sherry,now we're famous for statue toppling.
hey thanks for the informative video... I will be solo travelling in Oct, any recommendations for good hostels with elevators.. much love from India
No worries. I might not be able to help, I've never had to use a hostel and don't know anyone who did use one too. If it's a chain hostel it's likely to have an elevator, potentially see if you can get assigned the disabled room (will likely be bottom floor if no elevator available).
Have a lovely trip ! :)
Absolute cutie. Wow
Thank you so much !! 😊 Haha
@moema i have to go to Porte de choiesy metro station from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport...can you please suggest which rer and metro should I take ? I will be visii Paris for first time plz help plz
Hi Jimmy!!
I really recommend getting the "citymapper" app on your phone because this is not something I know from the top of my head and the best I can do is look at the app today and give you what they give me. Unfortunately, this might not be the best route for you to take on the day of your trip because I might recommend a metro line that might be closed or unavailable on the day you need to take it :/.
You can of course look at the app in advance and get an idea of the options available to you.
This is not a sponsored app or anything I've been using it for years and it's really great with timings and precise with directions.
It will make your stay in Paris so much better!
I hope you have a safe travel and lovely journey 💃
If i want to go to CDG airport from the center , do i have to buy the ticket from the station , or it take be done with easy pass ?
Hi Osman !
You can do both. If you have not downloaded the app and seen if you can buy tickets on your phone, you will need to go buy the easy pass in person. Almost all stations (metro, rer, tram, airports...) WILL sell tickets either through machines in most cases or through the in-person guichets.
I need to get to Brétigny-sur-Orge, and it doesn't show any pricing, what to expect!?
Hiya !
I think if you put in Google maps it estimated Paris to B-s-O to be between €3.80 and €5.70.
You can see exact prices of different routes by putting in the itinerary on this official website:
www.transilien.com/fr/itinerary/search/?departure=Gare+Montparnasse+%28Paris%29&departureId=stop_area%3AIDFM%3A71139&arrival=Br%C3%A9tigny+%28Br%C3%A9tigny-sur-Orge%29&arrivalId=stop_area%3AIDFM%3A60247&dateType=DEPARTURE&departureLatitude=48.8406724311&departureLongitude=2.31934299105&arrivalLatitude=48.6070135541&arrivalLongitude=2.3019864351&haveBusBypassed=false&date=2022-12-06&time=08%3A26&mode=AUTO
Hi do you know if disneyland is covered in the weekly navigo pass, or is it extra?
Hiii Suhayd !
Yes, Disneyland is included since it is the RER A and you are paying for all transport modes and with no zone restrictions. :)
Have a safe and fun trip!
@@Moemaguerra Thank you so so much for the reply and for your videos💗 I'll be solo traveling for the first time and is kind of scary at first but I'm so excited to go to Paris.
How do you know if the RER or metro will split in to a different direction?
Hiii !
Usually you can see the map of the metro/RER before getting in or on the metro. Usually, they have little lights on indicating the direction or you'll be able to see it in on the screens inside the transports.
The direction is already set, you just need to make sure you hopped on the right one. Usually the name of the terminus/terminal is displayed on the screens that provide arrival time. So depending on the name of the terminal, you can know which direction the train is going into!
If you aren't sure, just ask people on the platform before boarding, this will help you avoid some bad surprises.
@@Moemaguerra thank you so much.
We are supposed to commute between Paris fare du nord to Paris fare de Lyon in an hour with kids and luggage around. How will it be easier? Can we just buy tickets from gate or is it an app to buy previously the trip. Such as RER as we arrive by Eurostar from London and we are running to Paris gare de Lyon. Because I don’t have the time to wait for the tickets but maybe to buy them on an app so we can use the phone to pay for the RER. Thank you
Well, if you're trying to use the RER I would simply recommend to buy the tickets when you get there and get a ticket t+ for everyone (one ticket each) that is travelling since I am not sure how you can get multiple tickets on just one phone, unless you see that the app allows for that. The app didn't work on my phone unfortunately maybe because I didn't have an android.
If your issue really is queuing, it shouldn't be a problem cause the RER is 8 minutes and that gives you enough time to arrive and find your next train. I wish I could help more with the app and helping you get tickets directly through it, but buying them on site has never made me late, you just have to check departure times for the RER D you are trying to take.
Hi!!
I hope the answer below helps. If it was not clear please let me know and I will try to help!
But I feel like the main take away would be to download the RATP app (where you can buy the tickets online) and check if you can buy the tickets there since the app (and some tickets available on the app) are not compatible with every phone.
It should be an easy journey from one station to the next via RER since the trip is only 8min and you have 52 min to deal with any issues that may come your way. Staff in these stations tend to be quite helpful as well, so I wouldn't worry!
Have a great trip and good luck :)

Very informative but I just can't find any info anywhere as to which ticket to purchase for unlimited rides on all platforms from CDG airport to paris and back to the airport. I'm only staying one day in Paris.
Hiya Maisey,
If you want an unlimited ticket to and from Paris airport as well as within Paris I believe you need to get a 'Carte Paris Visite' for 'zones 1 to 5'. Should come out to €27.80.

@@Moemaguerra Thank you!
That was a wonderfully informative video. Always like the time stamp information so you can easily go back to review. Only I wish you would slow down a bit when you are doing informative videos. How about some ideas on food-restaurants, street food, cheap places, expensive places?
Hiyaaa !
I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry, I will try to slow down 😅😅 I'm a natural fast talker...
As for restaurants I have a list but since I'm not living in Paris anymore I can't film any live reviews and not of all the places I have. I am planning on posting a list on Instagram though.
I'm not sure street food is what Paris is very known for 😅😅... And for expensive places I have not tried any 😂
I will try to post the restaurant list soon and add it to my video description as well :)
Watch your video and count the number of times you say "actually."
English is not my first language so I do tend to use filler words. Definitely something I will keep an eye out for ! :)
