How do I get the 'Paris Visite' ticket?
Where can I buy the Paris Visite ticket? (I live in Brazil). Also, how do I calculate whether it is going to be cheaper than just buying single tickets?
Best Answer
Paris Visite is a tourist trap.
Consider getting a Mobilis. This is what the locals use when they need to travel for an entire day. It's like the Paris Visite but there is no voucher booklet and it is much cheaper than the Paris Visite. Mobilis is valid on the publicly operated airport links (Orlybus, Roissybus, RER B, but not Orlyval or Le Bus Direct) (since 2018).
Mobilis is available only in 1-day version. You can buy one for each day of travel, and modulate the cost by buying only the zones you need for that day.
Paris visite is only available in zones 1-3 or 1-5 version. Mobilis allows finer control.
If you stay from Monday to Sunday, buy a Navigo Découverte (smart card) and load it with a weekly pass.

Answer 3
An update to the other answers which state that (as was the case at the time) you couldn't use Mobilis to reach the airports.
Since January 1st, 2018, Mobilis zones 1-5 can be used to reach Charles-de-Gaulle via the RER (train), which wasn't the case before.
Note however that it still doesn't include Orlyval.
So this is another alternative to consider. Depending on the length of your stay, the specific days of the week you will be in Paris, and where and how much you wish to travel, you have the following options:
- Paris Visite (paper ticket, includes free travel in the chosen zones and discounts)
- Mobilis (paper ticket)
- Navigo Jour (requires a Navigo Smart Card, otherwise exactly equivalent to Mobilis)
- Navigo Semaine (if your stay aligns with a monday-sunday week)
- individual tickets for airport-to-Paris transfers + one or more "carnet(s)" (10 tickets) for travel inside Paris
