RER tickets

We are going to be in Paris for 4 days , one of the days we intend to go to Disney for a day and on another day we want to go to the outlet mall near disney.This effectively means we need to get up to zone 6 tickets, however we can also use the RER ticket from CDG on the day we arrive. What is the best ticket to buy taking into consideration these facts.

Thanks again for the help.

CDG airport, Disneyland Paris and La Vallée Village are all in public transport zone 5. Note that some time ago, the zones have changed - a few years ago, it might have been in zone 6, but now all these destinations are in 5 (and there are less zones).

I%26#39;m not sure what you mean by %26quot;we can also use the RER ticket from CDG on the day we arrive%26quot; - A single ticket is only valid for one trip.

The Paris Visite (available for 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive days, and for 1-3 or 1-6 zones) is one option. There are also %26quot;Mobilis%26quot; day tickets, for travel in zones 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 and 1-6 zones. If you plan to visit Disneyland and La Vallée Village on two consecutive days, you could buy 2-day Paris Visite passes, and for the remaining 2 days either Mobilis day passes or 2-day Paris Visite passes.

On the RATP website ( www.ratp.fr ), only the Paris Visite pass is mentioned. But the STIF website ( www.transport-idf.fr ) has info in English and French about most available tickets. Both sites are official public transport sites.

The RER ticket from CDG is specific to %26quot;CDG-Paris%26quot;. So it won%26#39;t allow you to pass through and out of Paris to exit at another destination. You%26#39;d be traveling without a valid ticket, which would land you a nice fine from a controller if they checked you.

Yours may be one of the few exceptions for the PARIS VISITE Zone 1-5 transportation pass

**IF** you plan to use the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne train as your mode of airport transfer both from and back to CDG (8,40€ one way--16,80€ r.t)) AND you plan to travel out to DisneyLand Paris (MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY RER--Zone 5--12,90 r.t) and La Vallée Village (VAL d%26#39;EUROPE RER--Zone 5--11,50€)...then the price of a five(5) consecutive-calendar-day PARIS VISITE Zone 1-6 trnsportation pass (48,40€) makes sense....since it will also cover ALL other RER/METRO/BUS/TRAM/FUNICULAR fares within and around Paris for the remainder of your stay. Do the math.

Hi All

Thanks for the responses, firstly we wont be going back to CDG so we may take the Roissy Bus instead. The RER ticket we only need for 2 trips so maybe the suggestion that we purchase the 2 day Paris Visite and then the other two days use the Metro carnet will work out better. We are a group of 5 ppl so we can buy 2 books and share them amongst us for any local trips.

Thank a million everyone, much appreciated.
