Hello everyone... we will be arriving at CDG airport on Wednesday, 3/14 at 4pm and will be staying in the Oberkampf area (staying 4 nights - we depart 7am on 3/18 so will be taking a taxi to Ciampino).
We plan on mainly staying within zones 1 and 2, however, we will be making a trip out to Versailles one day. I%26#39;ve read about carnets, Mobilis, Carte Orange and Paris Visites passes! We were wondering which pass would be most appropriate for us?!?! Price is also a consideration.
Thank you!

Do a search in the upper left hand corner of this page - and you%26#39;ll find everything you need to know and then some!
Bon voyage.

You want the search box on the right above the posts not the one on the left, but you%26#39;ve obviously already done the basic research and not come up with the answer so doing more probably won%26#39;t help.
Get a Zone 1-2 Carte Orange (16€) as soon as you arrive. Buy your tickets from CDG (8€10) and to Versailles (5€40 RT) separately. The CO will cover all your travel in paris through Sunday night.
BTW a taxi to Ciampino is going to be rather expensive... :-)

Make sure you buy your Cartes Oranges on your day of arrivel i.e Wednesday. This is the last day on which you can buy these for use that same week. Once you have your passes you can use them straight away within your chosen zones.
Sorry Irish, just wanted to make sure that OP is aware of the restrictions re purchase.

hahahahaha Irish! I just realized my error! I meant to type Orly airport!!!
I appreciate everyone%26#39;s responses! Less than 2 weeks to go!!!
|||
No worries, kebabs. Doesn%26#39;t hurt at all to make sure the message is clear.
And you%26#39;re welcome, monica. I pretty much guessed you meant ORY and not CIA. Have a great trip!
BTW I *love* the Oberkampf arae. Do a search on Oberkampf using the box on the right above the posts and you will get a ton of info including a bunch of posts from me and others about restos in the area — try l%26#39;Estaminet (cheap and fun), Astier (good traditional bistro), Mémère au Piano (good food and friendly), and Le Villaret (serious and great value) and a few more. Lots of good cafés too.
Where exactly are you staying if you don%26#39;t mind my asking?
|||
We will be staying at Hotel Grand Prieure on rue prieuré. I believe we are pretty close to the Oberkampf metro station... thank you for the recommendations! I%26#39;ll be sure to do a search...

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; I believe we are pretty close to the Oberkampf metro station %26lt;%26lt;%26lt; Very close indeed . The #96 bus from rue Jean Pierre Timbaud at bv. Richard Lenoir will take you many places you want to go by an interesting route through the Marais, across the Île de la Cité and the northern part of the 5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter) and on to St. Germain des Prés. Check it out at www.ratp.fr
Have a great trip!

I believe you could also buy a combo train/entry to Versaille ticket. I recall doing that when we were in Paris but that was in 2005.
