    Oh, hang on, you cant buy a Navigo Decouvert to cover you for the rest of that calendar week if you arrive on Saturday. Sales end on the Thursday and then they start selling the next week from the Friday onwards.

    Sorry! You will have to look at the other options.

    As for vendors being arsey not selling it to non-French people, I imagine at the airport there are no such issues. I certainly didnt have any, nor did the OP.

    Absolutely not. The only hinderance was the language barrier, but we had wrote down what we wanted & showed her the bit of paper, and that was it.
    This was at the Metro Station called Rome. The lady - and others who we asked for help at other stations- , were very helpful.
    No problems at all. We found the French people far more helpful & polite than those in Rome.
