Transit card
Buy a reloadable Navigo Easy card (€2) at any metro/RER ticket window or tabac and load it with t+ tickets or a Paris Visite pass — as of 2026 you generally can't just tap a foreign bank card at metro gates, though open contactless payment is being rolled out gradually across buses.

Where to buyRATP/Ile-de-France Mobilites ticket counters and vending machines at metro and RER stations, and RATP partner shops (tabacs, newsstands, some corner stores)
Contactless cardNot accepted at the gates — get the local card above
AlternativeParis Visite pass
€30.60 for 1 day, €45.40 for 2 days, €63.80 for 3 days, €78 for 5 days (zones 1-5, includes both airports)
Only worth it if you need unlimited travel across all zones (e.g. both airports, Versailles, Disneyland) in a short trip; for typical inner-city sightseeing, loading individual t+ tickets or a cheaper multi-day pass onto Navigo Easy usually costs less.

Transit cardDirect 'tap and go' with a contactless bank card is not available network-wide on the Paris metro. Buses are already partially equipped, with full Paris and inner-suburb bus coverage targeted by the end of August 2026.The published rollout schedule is: Orly-Line 14 airport link 30 June 2026, Montmartre funicular July 2026, Metro Line 1 July 2027, Lines 4/14/15/18 end of 2027, Lines 7/12 end of 2028, and the full network by 2030. Journeys paid by bank card cost more than standard fares (a 50-80 cent surcharge) and do not include free transfers -- each validation is charged separately.A Navigo Easy card can't be shared between travelers -- one per person. You can also skip the physical card entirely and buy/store tickets in the Ile-de-France Mobilites or Bonjour RATP phone app.
