In the last couple of years I've been using this online service called Allo-france, who sell everything from metro tickets to popular show tickets (lido de paris, moulin rouge, etc).

They're quite a small company which means they are very efficient at what they do and I have had excellent feedback from them.

I really recommend to anyone who is planning on going to Paris to at least buy their metro tickets in advance as they will struggle with the French metro ticket system when they get there. One of my favourites is also the Paris museum pass which gives you access to all museums across the city. Great for managing your time.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18549 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16291 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16291 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16174
Tickets can be bought at most metro stations, you will need to ask for the wallet and card from the ticket desk, then attach a passport-sized photo and you have free travel from Monday to Sunday. As this is a weekly pass, aimed at Parisian commuters, be careful with the dates, it runs from Monday to Sunday.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16174 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1755
I asked, using my basic French vocabulary for the cheapest ticket available. Three minutes later, I was in the 'Gods', in a packed Bastille, watching opera with Paris glitteraty ... for €5, yes FIVE EUROS. It was fantastic. I recommend anyone gambles!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1755 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/918
