— If they don’t have much luggage, clients should consider taking the RER train from either DeGaulle or Orly airports to downtown Paris. It’s only about $7. They can also take Air France buses from the airports to Paris for about $12 even if they didn’t fly on the airline. Taxis are about $47 to $60 (extra for luggage).
— If clients are using the Metro for more than a few days, it is economical to have a Carte Orange (subway pass) with a weekly coupon, or hebdomadaire. You will need a passport-size photo. Otherwise, buy a 10-ticket carnet.
— The Paris Visite Pass is a good way to buy entrance to museums and the metro before ever leaving the U.S., which also means travelers can purchase it in U.S. dollars.
