Do Metro tickets expire?
I travel to Paris two or three times a year and have a Carte Orange pass to get me around the city centre. I have to make the occasional trip to the outskirts, for which I buy ordinary Metro tickets singly, but it is better value to buy a carnet of 10 tickets. I would not use them all in the same trip and was wondering if they would still be valid next time I travel or if they only last a week/month etc (I'm not really that tight, I just don't like waste!).

My understanding is that metro tickets have no expiration date.
Although I have no reference that explicitly says this I notice that in the discussion of the new t+ ticket on the RATP website there is this question and answer:
19) I have got a carnet of mauve tickets. Are they still valid? For how long?
Yes, of course ! Relax, you have not wasted your money. You can use these tickets as at present on the RATP and the SNCF.
I would also note that I have used metro tickets that were a year old without problem.
That depend how much you travel in Paris, the ticket(-T) is valabe when you enter in the metro to the moment you left it, but if i remember zones 1-2 it is about 14€ by week, maybe it should be better to keep your card ?
like another contributor stated.. it relies upon on the way you would be wanting to return and forth and how many stops you plan to make: - Carnet 10 tickets: this is probable the extra suitable selection for you except you plan to make extra advantageous than 8-9 stops in the previous you head decrease back on your motel for the day. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, do be conscious that it demands a single value ticket to journey the metro besides because of the fact the bus. It does not assist you flow from the metro to bus with one single value ticket. you are able to save the unused tickets on your next flow to to Paris. - Mobilis (limitless rides for the day): i like this option in case you plan to make multiple stops interior the city and don't opt to be complication with applying distinctive tickets. purely use the only value ticket on the two metro and bus. guidance - i could advise taking the bus over metro in case you would be wanting to savor the attractions and are not pressing for time. it could take two times/thrice as long to get from one element to the subsequent on the bus v. metro, however the adventure is somewhat friendly exterior of rush hours.
