Hi, Debbie... for starters, the Carte Orange -- the weekly
pass -- does start on Monday, and yes, you do need a photo.
My husband and I used an extra passport photo, and it worked
just great. We had them taken at Walgreens, as I had read
that the machines in Paris are often broken, so better come
with a photo in hand. If you arrive on a Saturday or
Sunday, you can purchase a Mobilis pass for those two days,
which works just like the Carte Orange, except that it's a
daily pass, and you do not need a photo for that pass. I
really don't know of any hotels that are in your price
range, but you may be able to find one on the following

Not sure about the trains, but have you checked out the flights on Easy Jet? They have very reasonable prices, from London to Paris. The good thing about Easy Jet is that they do fly into CDG: http://www.eurocheapo.com/paris/default.asp Best regards, Sandy in Illinois |
