Getting around and veggie food

Travelling to Paris 13-20 Dec. Can%26#39;t wait! Have been investigating the best way to get around - we have to get in and out from Charles de Gaulle to Rue Rambuteau, near Chatelet les Halles. During our stay we%26#39;d like to go to Versailles, maybe a boat trip and generally explore.





I had looked at a Paris Visite pass but this only goes up to 5 days which have to be used consecutively, also Batobus offer a pass which includes airport transfers but not sure where they leave you in Paris. Am I best just getting the RER tickets separately and then a carnet? Too many options....brain melting!!!!





Also hoping to eat and drink our way round Paris so any suggestions for places (with vegetarian options) much appreciated.

Since you are arriving in Paris on a Tuesday your best option for transportation for at least the first part of your visit would probably be a Carte Orange covering Zones 1 and 2. This will cover all your métro and bus transportation within Paris through Sunday for a cost of 16€ each. Add your round-trip tickets on the RER to Châtelet-les-Halles at 16€20 each, and round-trip tickets to Versailles for 5€40. For your last couple of days you would probably be best off buying a carnet, especially if you took your trip to Versailles on one of these days.



You will need small (approx 2.5 x 3 cm) head-shot photos for the Carte Orange. You can buy the CO at CDG when you get your RER tickets to Paris.



For veggie restaurants try using the search function and the word %26quot;vegetarian%26quot; typed in the box immediately above the posts on this page.
