⌛ Changes to unlimited passes

☀️ Navigo Jour (€12 / day)

Unlimited travel on all transport modes from 00:00 to 23:59 on the selected date, on all public transport services except airport services.

  • 📆 The date of use is selected while purchasing the pass. You can select the same day or any of the next 6 days.
  • ⏱️ If you choose a later date, you may continue to buy and use other tickets and passes on your card/phone before the pass activates.
  • 🧒 There is no reduced fare for children.

🇫🇷 Paris Visite

Duration Fare
1 day €29.90
2 days €44.00
3 days €62.30
5 days €76.25

Unlimited travel on all transport modes for multiple days, including travel to and from Orly and CDG airports.

  • 📆 May be purchased as far as you like in advance. There is no need to select the date.
  • ⏳ Once purchased, the next touch-in at a ticket barrier or validator will activate the pass and set the start and end dates. A day always starts at 00:00 and ends at 23:59.
  • ‼️ IMPORTANT: If a Paris Visite pass is loaded onto a Navigo Easy (physical) card, the blue outlined box on the reverse of the card must be filled with the traveller's first and last name; failure to do so will result in penalty fares at ticket inspections. This requirement is waived for virtual Navigo cards.
  • 🧒 Reduced-fare tickets are available for children between 4 and 9 years of age inclusive. (The exception allowing up to 11 years of age for reduced fare on Paris Visite has been removed.)

📅️ Navigo Mois and Navigo Semaine

The rules for Navigo Mois and Navigo Semaine are the same as before; there are no changes. This means the five-zone system is still in effect — however the only zone combinations available are “all zones”, “zones 2–3”, “zones 3–4”, and “zones 4–5”. These passes include all travel including to and from Orly and CDG by bus, RER, and metro. Beauvais airport is not included.

These passes are intended for residents and commuters, not for tourists. They are still available for purchase as a tourist due to loopholes in the system, but this has become significantly more difficult.

💰 Ways to buy and load tickets and passes

All tickets and passes are now available on the Navigo system. Paper tickets are now obsolete, however they will still be available for several months to ease the transition.

For tourists, there are two main options for how to buy your tickets:

  • 📱 Virtual Navigo card: If you prefer to have your tickets and passes on your smartphone, create a virtual Navigo card on your phone and load your tickets and passes. Available on iOS and on Android.
  • 💳 Navigo Easy card: If you prefer to have a physical card for your tickets and passes, get a Navigo Easy card at most ticket machines and ticket offices. A €2 new card fee applies.

All of the above listed tickets and passes (except Liberté +) are available for purchase in these two formats.

🧮 Navigo Liberté +

Navigo Liberté + is a resident-exclusive pay-as-you-go program that allows users to pay the correct fare just by touching in and out, without having to worry about buying the right ticket types in advance.

Previously only usable within the confines of t+ tickets, Navigo Liberté + is now valid on all public transport in the Île-de-France region, and is subject to discounted fares. Free connections between the rail system and buses/trams is included.

Sadly, this program is not open to tourists.

What will happen to tickets from the old system?

The old system tickets (t+ and point-to-point) are no longer available for purchase on smartphones. However, to ease the transition, they are still available at ticket machines and at ticket offices.

Please note that t+ and point-to-point rail tickets will be subject to their old rules, and the new system rules will not apply to them.

This will be possible until 31 Dec 2025, when t+ and point-to-point tickets will officially be phased out.

Other updates

Île-de-France Mobilités continues to add barriers to discourage short-term tourists from purchasing commuter passes like Navigo Semaine and Navigo Mois. In recent days, creating an ÎDFM Connect account (required for commuter passes) now requires the user to have access to a French phone number to verify the account.

An ÎDFM Connect account is required for the following features:

  • To purchase commuter passes such as Navigo Mois and Navigo Semaine.
  • To submit customer support requests for issues encountered while using the app.
  • To switch between multiple virtual Navigo cards on Android.

The idea of restricting access to commuter passes is not new — ÎDFM has been discouraging tourists from using commuter passes since their debut. However, this new requirement is extremely faulty as it now blocks access to other useful features, such as customer support requests, as well as the ability to switch between multiple virtual Navigo cards on Android.

If you are lucky enough to already have an ÎDFM Connect account before the barrier was imposed, you can continue to use your card/account as long as you like until it expires.

For those who are not as fortunate, it is still possible to obtain a Navigo Découverte card or an ÎDFM Connect account by obtaining a printed photo or access to a French phone number respectively. However, for short-term tourists it is recommended to use single tickets, Navigo Jour, and Paris Visite, considering that Navigo Mois and Navigo Semaine are commuter passes and are designed more for residents and commuters rather than tourists.
