As you know, some Paris metro lines will undergo extensive construction in the coming weeks… This will significantly impact your commutes, and may even make them longer. To get around this, why not take the boat on sunny days? The Batobus passes by many points of interest…. And thanks to the Navigo pass,you can enjoy a nice discount! A great tip that combines business with pleasure…
Taking the boat with the Navigo pass
Between Line 8, Line 12, the RER A, Line 4, and Line 3, the RATP network will undergo several weeks of construction… As you know, to mitigate this, various replacement buses will be provided to make your life easier.
But if you have a little more time, we recommend taking the boat! From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Batobus crosses the center of Paris along the Seine. It stops at 9 stations, including Invalides, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Place de la Concorde… And unlike the riverboats that offer a non-stop cruise, here you can get off at any of the stops along the way. There’s about a 15-minute interval between each stop. If you work near the Seine, or if your connection is nearby, this is the perfect mode of transportation for this season.
And with the Navigo pass, you can get a discount!Simply show your pass at any Batobus ticket windowto get a lower price. You can purchase a 24-hour pass (for 18 euros instead of 23 euros), a 48-hour pass (22 euros instead of 27 euros), or an annual pass, where the discount is even greater: 53 euros instead of 73 euros.
So yes, even if the Batobus isn’t included in your pass, it’s still an option worth considering! Keep it in mind!
