If you are going to be there a month, I think there's something else that might be more economical for you. Paris Visite? Oh don't depend on me for heaven's sake!! My prob with the machine is the darn COINS. I don't know them by size well enough and I'm always fumbling etc. I'm a mess! HA The best thing we did was try and buy carnets and not have to depend on the machines. Tabacs also sell them.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-42126700741648184132010-02-12T19:16:32.439-06:002010-02-12T19:16:32.439-06:00I just read in Rick Steves' book that the Metr...I just read in Rick Steves' book that the Metro ticket machines do NOT take US credit/debit cards. Virginia, now I'm nervous if you're telling me that many of the ticket windows are no longer manned.<br /><br />Do the Metro ticket machines take cash??? Can you purchase a carnet of tickets in one of these machines?Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626044577092153571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-84873274259650942252010-02-12T17:31:01.230-06:002010-02-12T17:31:01.230-06:00Starman,

This was at the Palais Royal stop.<br /><br />ET Suzy,<br />Good grief, how many hours have I spent fumbling in my change purse trying to get enough change to buy a ticket. FYI, the machines don't like most US credit cards for some reason and a lot of Metro stops don't have a person available to sell them. Like I said, a recipe for frustration!<br /><br />SCW,<br />Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoy my blog and hope you will visit often. The French Strangers have been a little more of a challenge than the American ones, but no less fun!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-32718235856745170182010-02-12T14:05:33.149-06:002010-02-12T14:05:33.149-06:00Can you believe after all the times I've been ...Can you believe after all the times I've been to Paris, it never occurred to me to buy métro tickets at the kiosques?

It was awkward, but we got through it together.<br /><br />I had the same problem with the RER on my way back to CDG, but there was no one to turn to for help. I never did get a ticket bought. Rode for free that morning. Oh well!<br /><br />This photo is a visual treat for the eyes! So much going on...and I see plenty of ET's!!!♥ E.T.
