What is a Navigo Youth Weekend Day Pass / Navigo Jeunes Week-end?
For tourists/visitors & residents 25 years old or younger a Navigo Youth Weekend Day Pass / Navigo Jeunes Week-end is an unlimited-ride, ONE-DAYpass usable ONLYon a Saturday, a Sunday or a French national holiday, costing 4.70€ for 1-3 zones or 10.35€ for 1-5 zones PER DAY, put onto a Navigo Easy card (2€) or Navigo Découverte card (5€) or Paris Transport mobile phone app (free). There is no paper ticket version of Jeunes Week-end pass any longer.
Let me emphasize that this is not a “full weekend pass” usable as a single fare for both weekend days of Saturday and Sunday: IT IS NOT. This is a single-day pass for either a Saturday OR a Sunday (or a national holiday such as July 14). You can buy & load (up to) two (2) Navigo Jeunes Week-end passes onto a single Navigo card to cover both Saturday and Sunday though.
Where Can I buy a Navigo Youth Weekend Day Pass?
Any Paris Metro, RER, Transilien station ticket window can sell you a physical Navigo Easy card (or Navigo Découverte card) with up to two youth weekend passes loaded with your desired zone coverage.
Some (few?) newer automated ticket machines can also sell physical Navigo Easy cards, pre-loaded with fares, possibly including a Navigo Youth Weekend Day Pass. (See the Navigo Easy page for a photo of the new automated ticket machine dispensing physical Navigo Easy cards .) I say “possibly” as there are anecdotes that some automated ticket machines that dispense Navigo Easy cards, sell the card preloaded with only three options: Ticket t+ full fare, Ticket t+ reduced fare, “regular” Navigo Day Passes ; the Navigo Jeunes Week-end is apparently missing as an option to load on a newly dispensed Navigo Easy card. (Or perhaps this option isn’t shown in non-French languages of the ticket machine? I’m not sure.) I have not confirmed this myself. Just beware that you may be forced to buy a new Navigo Easy card loaded with a single Ticket t+, then make a second transaction, loading your Navigo Easy with the Jeunes Week-end / Youth Weekend Day Pass.
Finally, you can buy/use your Navigo Weekend Day pass directly from your Android phone / Apple iPhone using either of the Paris Transport mobile phone apps . This fare is not yet available in Google Wallet nor Apple Wallet as of July 2024.
