Navigo Decouverte

I am going to be purchasing the Navigo Decouverte pass and have my pictures all ready. I am aware that you must purchase these from a booth and not a machine. My question is- do all stations have a booth? Our closest station would be the Vaneau station, but it seems to be a %26#39;smaller%26#39; station and I am not sure if they would have a booth.





Thanks!

Even if there is a booth (I%26#39;m not sure), it might only be open during rush hours. But you could try one of the tabacs that sell metro tickets. According to the RATP website, they also sell the Navigo Découverte. There%26#39;s one at 43, rue Vaneau.



More addresses of official ticket sellers (%26quot;commerces agrées%26quot;) can be found at ratp.info/informer/les_commerces_agrees_ratp…

You will not find a real live person at every métro station. Vaneau is indeed one of the smaller stations and may not have an attendant. I don%26#39;t know one way or the other. In any case, if your French is not good you might do better at a larger station that is more accustomed to dealing with visitors. Montparnasse can%26#39;t be very far away if Vaneau is close. That would be my suggestion if there is no attendant at Vaneau.

The advice to go to a larger station is sound... we found some of the smaller ones only had a manned booth only for information....

Thanks so much for the tips! You are correct, the Montparnasse station is about a 15 minute walk (according to Google maps). I will pick up my pass there. Thanks! =)
