    Oooh, another thing is the ring scam. They tried it with us twice when we were at the Louvre.

    If someone walking towards you picks something up and tries to give it to you, it will be a gold ring and its a con. Just walk on from them and leave them with it.

    1/ Was hoping to buy a 3 day Paris Visite card, Can i buy this on arrival at CDG & if so where?

    When you arrive at CDG, follow the signs to the Metro. You can buy these from the ticket desk after you go down the steps into the Metro. Make sure you write the relevant dates on the back of each ticket in case an inspector asks to see it and the number from the black card you were given.

    2/What is the best way to get from CDG into Central Paris (specifically Metro Station Dupleix in the 15th District) and can i use the Paris visite card for this?

    Metro, yes

    3/Have read about the museum card - Is this worth getting? Probably looking to do the Louvre, Notre Dame & maybe D'Orsay. Dont think i could fit any more in?

    We went for 4 days in October and decided it wasn't worth it.

    4/ Boat trips - Are these worth doing? Any specific tour recommendations?

    Just walk to the pier near the Eiffel Tower and pick whichever one goes next. They're all much of a muchness.
