Travel passes in the Améthyste range are reserved for disabled persons or retired people over 60, subject to financial means or status.

They are financed by the departments in Île-de-France and the City of Paris, which each decide on the categories of beneficiaries and any financial contribution from these travel pass holders.

Your Amethyst travel pass can start at any time and is valid for 1 year (from 12:00 a.m. on the first day to 11:59 p.m. on the last day). 
It allows unlimited travel within the zones determined by your department. Depending on your zone pair, you can travel on all modes of transport in the Île-de-France region apart from Orlyval.

The Améthyste travel pass includes “dezoning”, i.e. the possibility of unlimited travel throughout the region, regardless of the zones chosen:

• At weekends (from 12:00 a.m. on Saturday until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday)
• On public holidays from 12:00 a.m. until 11:59 p.m.
• During the half-term holidays in zone C (All Saints, Christmas, winter, and spring) from 12:00 a.m. on the day after classes end until 11:59 p.m. on the day before classes resume, as defined by the French Ministry of Education
• In summer, from 12:00 a.m. on 15 July until 11:59 p.m. on 15 August

Each department decides on the fare zones allowed when it issues new Améthyste travel passes.

To obtain an Améthyste travel pass, you must first have a personalised Navigo travel card. To do this, visit one of our points of sale or obtain the travel card online on the website iledefrance-mobilites.fr

Entitlement to new Améthyste travel passes is defined and communicated by the department. It is also the department that will examine all the requests it receives. It will notify you of the action taken and a provisional date for loading the travel pass onto your Navigo travel card.
Please note that replacement tickets used while waiting to receive the Améthyste travel pass will not be reimbursed.

Once the new Améthyste pass has been issued by the department, it is essential to load it onto your travel card before travel.

You can do this at one of our points of sale or using RATP and SNCF automatic ticket machines.
