We land at CDG airport in March and want to buy a Navigo pass to use on the metro, bus etc. Has anyone bought one at CDG, was it easy to buy there and use afterwards? Any hints and tips more than welcome.
Many thanks

The Navigo-system%26#39;s DÉCOUVERTE access %26#39;device%26#39; is readily available for sale (5€) at manned ticket booths at either of the two(2) RER train stations located within CDG. These are the ONLY locations within CDG where the DÉCOUVERTE access %26#39;device%26#39; may be purchased at the airport. You may also purchase and %26#39;.load%26#39; the fare for the weekly CARTE ORANGE transportation pass product onto the DÉCOUVERTE %26#39;device%26#39; at the same time.
Unless you plan to use the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne train or perhaps ROISSYBUS as your mode of airport transfer between CDG and Paris (Zones 1-5 required), there is no advantage to purchasing the DÉCOUVERTE %26#39;device%26#39; at CDG upon arrival...and unless RER %26#39;B%26#39; or ROISSYBUS is part of your %26#39;plan%26#39; seeking out and making your way to a RER station at CDG may be more inconvenient than necessary. The DÉCOUVERTE %26#39;device and weekly CARTE ORANGE pass fare can be quickly and easily purchased at any RER or METRO station in Paris.
The weekly (valid from First Train on Monday, AM thru Last Train on Sunday, PM) CARTE ORANGE transportation pass for the CURRENT week is available for sale through WEDNESDAY of the CURRENT week%26#39;s validity. The weekly CARTE ORANGE pass is NOT available for sale on THURSDAY. It becomes available for sale again on FRIDAY...but only for the FOLLOWING week%26#39;s validity.
