I have a few helpful hints when selecting Tracy’s Airbandb location.
1. A fully stocked grocery store is just a one minute walk from the apartment.
2. A weekly pass is much more cost effective and will cover the Bus, the Metro rail and the RER (Réseau Express Régional) which is a high speed ground level train system.
2. Download the app “Bonjour RATP” to assist with navigating around the public transportation system.
3. The Gare Saint Lazare (train station) is about a 10 minute walk and there are lots of shops, restaurants and transportation option available.
4. If you want to visit the Palace of Versailles take the RER. But you need a different ticket when getting to Versailles as it is a different zone. The station attendant was very helpful and spoke English.
5. I was not crazy about the Metro but rather take the and sight see on your journey through Paris.
6. There is a taxi waiting area on the corner do it easy to retrieve a ride back to the airport. Cost 52 Euros.
