carafon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) And I forgot to say that if you're waiting after "the voice" you'll probably have to call a taxi because the public transportations are not working at that time Edited October 16, 2021 by carafon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had actually planned to take an Uber on Saturday and Sunday night to get to my airbnb (I don't expect to go to sleep early enough to take regular public transport then ). But then I happened to come across night buses (Noctilien). They run all night at regular intervals (the routes I checked every 20 minutes), there are 47 bus routes and they don't cost more than the buses that run during the day. I think I'll take that to get to my sleeping place. https://www.ratp.fr/en/getting-around-night/its-easy-get-around-night 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I've checked the information concerning paper tickets in the metro. So starting the 14th of October on some metro stations you will not be able to but paper tickets. But it's in the stations in the north-west and south parts of the city. There you will be able to buy a plastic card to charge with money (sort of Oystercards in London). On this photo you can see the stations where you can't buy paper tickets. Starting from January 2022 there will be much more stations with the only option - a plastic card. But if you have spare paper tickets you will be able yo use them even later. Here I am talking only for tourists and not for people using standard Navigo cards. You can buy a plastic card Navigo Easy in vending machines or in the ticket counters for 2 EUR and recharge them in the vending machines or via your mobile.

giraffeandy Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Ok, so if I want to buy a ticket and don't want to pay for a Navigo Pass, my only option now is the SMS ticket? I've already downloaded the app Bonjour RATP but even there you need the Navigo Pass to buy a single ticket... I'll probably use the metro just a couple of times so I don't need a prepaid card for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, there are still vending machines where you can buy the paper tickets for one journey, simply the paper 10-ride tickets are already being abolished. And if you buy a Navigo Pass Easy card and load tickets on it, they are valid for 10 years, if I understand it correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Navigo Decouverte Pass card when I went to Bercy concert in 2016, they said it is available for 10 years. These days I thought to check if I can use them next week again, and found out they disappeared since 2018 ( and I had to pay for photos as well) So I will prefer to get single tickets this time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) If you want to travel a lot during one day, you can pay 7,50 EUR for Navigo day Pass. It sounds interesting for the price of a half carnet (5 tickets) you can travel the whole day. And you can download tickets to the airports. But not for regular RER trains (yet). https://insidr.co/paris-navigo-easy/ Edited October 17, 2021 by Anna Ko Kolkowska 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presci1108 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thank for the infos about the metro ! It will be very useful for my little trip saturday. Also, I still don't know if I will wait after The Voice. I would love to see Mika, of course, but I don't know how I can go back at the hotel. I generally wait but in those cases, I go back at my home, it's not the same... I will probably see at the moment, if you go, maybe I will "invite" me... I will see. I'm at the Mercure too, in any case, it will be very nice to see each other at the hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he told fans at the end of the show not to wait for him. So I think it is very very probable he will not stop on Saturday after the final. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I unpacked it, I was sure I'd send it back, because it looked and felt a lot cheaper than what I paid for it. A very light polyester fabric. But then I tried it on, and it just fits perfectly and in fact looks elegant yet playful, which is the style I like - I probably never would've tried it on in a shop, but glad I did. This is it: https://www.zalando.de/maje-ramia-maxikleid-vert-mal21c0am-m11.html?selectedsizes=40,42,44,L,M And I've got mine! WOOHOO! Was dithering between green, blue or red, but went for classic black in the end as I'll be more likely to wear it for other events. Long skirt with a chiffon overlay, and chiffon pleating on the bust. So pleased, I just feel a bit more special in a dress. This is it (looks better on the model of course...) https://www.scarlettandjo.com/collections/plus-size-dresses/products/nancy-marilyn-black-chiffon-maxi-dress?variant=37271260228 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
