This is what the "NOTE" in Wiki[1] is actually recommending. I admit I did not read that "NOTE" since I (wrongly) assumed I know how to pass Paris from past experience. This proves that reading the docs *before* something might go wrong could be helpful. ;-) I personally had no idea what "RER B" might be thus asking the stuff at the entrance to the Metro worked as well. I might add the following experience: I've bought a Metro ticket inside the TGV to Paris to not loose time. Strangely enough you need to pass **two** barriers to enter Line 5. I talked to the stuff and they let me pass with my single Metro usage ticket. (Not sure what went wrong here.) Hope we now made sufficient noise about non-normal passing between Paris railway stations. Have a safe travel to Brest Andreas. [1] https://debconf25.debconf.org/about/venue/ -- https://fam-tille.de
