(2018) “You can get a card with a chip which you can charge, but I am not sure whether this is possible. I got mine two years ago at the RER B station Cité Universitaire (the one at CIUP), but I forgot the details. I remember that you have to bring a photo of you. I pay 73€ for a one month ticket, but you can get a 50% back from uni. For this, there is a form which the director of the lab has to sign. You can then hand it in by e-mailing a copy of the ticket bill.”

Reminder : to be added, information about the banking and other documents to bring.
