If you want to buy a metro pass (for different amounts of time) have a small passport pix or smaller taken so that you can use it when you purchase one. We have never been asked to show proof of purchase for our card, but sometimes taking them in Paris at the photomatrons is difficult as many are broken and it's a pain and a waste of time to find another! You will need one on your pass if asked.

Re: Giverny - do go! It's outstanding and not to be missed.
