The Paris Visite Travel card zones 1-3 entitles you to unlimited travel on the Paris public transport system in central Paris - Metro, RER (fast metro), public buses, trams, and the Montmartre funicular. Zones 1-3 covers central Paris including Gare du Nord, the terminal for Eurostar (see "Download" section for Paris Metro maps).

With this Paris Visite zones 1-3 Travelcard we send you the actual ticket, so you can walk straight off the Eurostar and onto a metro train. The Paris Visite Travelcard zones 1-3 gives you unlimited travel on the metro, RER (fast metro), public transport buses, trams and even the Montmartre Funiculaire, all in just the one ticket. It is undated, activated only when you use it for the first time, can be bought for 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive days, and comes with a handy map and discount vouchers for some of Paris' main sights and attractions. They work on calendar days, so no matter at what time on a day you activate the ticket, that is your first day.
Check the download tab for a Paris Metro map, and RER maps so you can check where you think you will want to travel to, however most of the main sights and museums of Paris are within zones 1-3. The main ones outside these zones are Versailles (zone 4) and Disneyland (zone 5), along with the airports (also in zone 5). If you just want to pop to Versailles or Disneyland for the day and spend the rest of your time within zones 1-3 we do sell single journey tickets for the airports, Disneyland and Versailles, and we also offer the zones 1-5 travelcards, which covers these as well as most of the suburbs .
Hello Paris Ltd is the official UK distributor for the RATP tickets (the Paris Transport Authority).
These are the actual tickets, so there is no need to go to an exchange point to exchange a voucher for the tickets.
Please note that Paris Metro tickets and RER tickets have a magnetic strip on the back. Please take care not to bend, tear or scratch the tickets and keep them away from mobile phones, otherwise they may stop working. If one of the tickets doesn't work on the day of use, you will be able to take it to any RATP booth in Paris and ask for a free replacement.
NB: This is the actual paper ticket which will be sent to you by post.
Queued for tickets in Paris on my first trip after Eurostar opened and have never done so since. Hello Paris makes it so easy that there is no other way to buy tickets. Have never needed to buy a ticket in Paris since.
ordered 2 paris viste travel cards on friday afternoon arrived saturday morning excellent service would recommend this company
I've used "Hello Paris" a few times over the years and I am always impressed with the service. I bought Metro tickets and Louvre passes and both were fine.
The only downside is the cost of postage which is excessive and we used to receive a handy pouch for the metro tickets which we didn't get this time. It's a small issue but when travelling around you would use these tickets often and they are pretty small and easily lost!
Tickets arrived very promptly accompanied by a very handy map. If you are visiting Paris for a weekend or longer, I would recommend as it is so easy to zip around on the metro, trains and buses without the hassle of buying tickets when you're there.
Buying in advance is a great idea as it saves the hassle of purchasing tickets once you arrive after what may have been a long journey. The unlimited nature of the tickets is great to be able to hop on and off all day. The metro is particularly reliable and easy to use. I highly recommend these day tickets.
Bought a couple of 3-day Central Paris Travel Cards which arrived most speedily, although a couple of the enclosed vouchers were very out-of-date - but these were replaced with valid ones without question. BUT do be aware that the multi-day cards are only valid anytime on that number of days: they are not valid for 24 hours (x relevant number of days) from the time of day when first used.
Tickets arrived promptly and were exactly as requested.
Was pleased to have ordered the metro tickets in advance from Hello Paris. They delivered them promptly and on arrival at the station in Paris there was a long queue to buy tickets from the machine. Glad we had ours in advance. Would order these again in the future.
Tickets arrived promptly and with plenty of info including useful maps. They were easy to use and saved us lots of time. Would definitely purchase again.
Have used Hello Paris for a number of years and always found them very helpful and nice people to deal with. Prompt service and quick delivery. I would always recommend buying the Paris Visite Travel Card - giving you freedom and flexibility in your 'getting around' lovely Paris.
Great to buy your tickets before you leave home, no hassle trying to work out which ticket to buy, straight on the tube. Lovely helpful friendly staff, would definitely recomend
Very glad we purchased these before we left for Paris. They arrived from Hello Paris promptly and saved us from any queuing at Metro stations to buy tickets.
The Paris Visite travel card is wonderful for getting around Paris. Hello Paris posted my cards promptly and with lots of other information and maps. I would always use this service. Excellent!
