RER fares

Is there a website where you can determine RER fares? I%26#39;ve tried the RATP site but couldn%26#39;t find it (doesn%26#39;t mean it isn%26#39;t there). From what I understand, RER fares tend to be specific for each departure/destination combination, rather than by zone (as the Metro is).

Thanks.

Also, can I confirm that if I do determine the RER fare, it includes the use of the Metro to get to the RER station?

There is a section on the RATP site where you can find out the fare for a journey from Paris to a particular station in the suburbs or vice versa. (I assume this is what you are looking for (as opposed to a journey from one suburb to another) since you ask about using the Metro to get to the RER station.

I think it is only available on the French language version of the site so make sure you are on that. Point to the %26#39;Titres et tarifs%26#39; header and follow the menu down to %26#39;Tous les Tarifs%26#39; and CLICK on it. Note CLICK, do NOT follow the arrow over to the next menu. When you scroll down you should see a box where you can enter the name of the station in the suburbs that you want to price a journey for. It will then give you the full and half price fares for a single ticket and for a carnet of tickets. And, yes, these will include transfer to/from the metro line.

Thanks! I kept going over the arrow to the drop-down menu and couldn%26#39;t find what I needed.

Travelnutty,

Thanks so much for posting that website! So useful- I will definitely be using it when in Paris for the first time.

Thanks Travelnutty - I had looked at that site, but hadn%26#39;t realised that the route planner would give me costs (I had been using the RATP route planner).

The trickiest part is using the correct term for the locations.... for instance, departure point:

I tried %26#39;charles de gaulle%26#39;, %26#39;airport%26#39; etc until I tried %26#39;CDG%26#39; it wouldn%26#39;t recognize what I wanted.. for that, there is a choice Roissy-en-Brie or Roissy-en-France, so you have to know which one of those is correct...So bit of trial-and-error.
