Just a little confused about the Carte Orange.
In a couple of Qs and As folks talk about keeping the Carte and tickets together?
If you have purchased a Carte Orange do you still have to buy tickets? I thought that was the advantage of the Carte. That you avoided buying tickets.
Appreciate any help clearing up the procedure.
Thank you.

there are two parts to the carte. Both are orange. One is the piece of paper that holds your photo which you have to sign. It is permanent. The other is a small rectangular piece of paper that is your actual ticket which is reusable for the week you buy it in. You put the small rectangular piece into the automatic machines when entering the metro and then take it back each time when it pops up. If you go on a bus you do not put it into the ticket machine but just show it to the driver.
When you buy the carte they give you a plastic holder with space for both pieces.... a lovely souvenir! You have to keep both with you at all times on the metro as every once in awhile there is a random security check and if you don%26#39;t have both pieces in your possession there is a hefty fine!
