Paris Travel Guide - HTML5

validate your ticket when switching from one system to another. Keep your ticket or pass with you at all times as you may be checked . Strangely, there's no sign, audio or message written on the tickets or stations to inform you that it's obligatory to keep the ticket until you go out the metro. You will be cited and forced to pay on the spot (between 35-50 euros, depending on the officer, they accept credit cards and usually won't speak English) if you do not have a ticket. The most likely spots for being checked are just behind the turnstiles at big Métro stations or during Métro line changes ( correspondances ). RATP agents may be present in the Métro stations even on Sunday nights.
