Some metro questions, please help!

Hi,

when buying a carnet, when do I have to pay %26quot;full fare%26quot; and when is it %26quot;reduced fare%26quot;?

We are thinking of taking a mobilis pass, but I can´t

find out how far zones 1 and 2 go.

Thanks folks,

Q.

Reduced fare is for children from 4 to 10.

All parts of Paris belong to Zone 1. All metro lines belong to zone 1+2 (also if the run in an area tha belongs to zone 3).

Then click on:

For most intents and purposes....ALL of the CITY of PARIS is within either Transportation Zone 1 or 2.

For a %26#39;working%26#39; city limits boundry, you may use the Périphérique %26#39;ring road%26#39; that circles Paris as a rough guide.

For the purposes of regular METRO travel (not necessarily RER lignes or public Bus routes) ALL regular METRO stations on ALL numbered (#1-thru-#14) METRO lignes are included within Transportation Zones 1-2.

If your destination is beyond the Périphérique AND you will be traveling by either RER (alphbetically-lettered lignes) or public BUS...then it would behoove you to check for which Transportation Zone your destination is within.

Once arrived in Paris, you can pick up a free, large-format, %26#39;..PARIS--GRAND PLAN--Lignes et Rues..%26#39; transportation map at most METRO and RER station ticket windows, to carry with you in your travels in and about Paris. This transportation map will clearly identify and delineate Transportation Zones and diagram (colour-coded, numbered %26amp; lettered) the entire Parisian public transportation system (RER, Metro, Bus Tram, Funicular %26amp; NightBus).
