advice on transportation

My family(2 adults, 2 children, 1 infant) and I will be flying into CDG from Madrid May 7 and departing CDG Monday the 12th of May. I am interested in getting the CO zones 1-5 to cover the cost of traveling to my hotel from CDG and also a one trip to Versailles and possibly a trip elsewhere outside Paris just to explore. We will be taking the open tour and batobus tour for 2 days as well. Is the CO for us or is there a better plan. I am too stressed to think of other sensible options. Thank you.

I think you%26#39;ve got too much going on there.



You can still buy the C.O. on Wednesday when you arrive, and it will be good through Sunday. Zone 5 will cover CDG and Versailles. I think it is a bit overkill to take both the L%26#39;Opentour bus and the Batobus. You%26#39;ll see more using the l%26#39;Opentour bus, covers more ground. However, if you are going to use the Opentour bus as a means to get around Paris, not just a once-around tour, then it%26#39;s probably overkill to get a Carte Orange.





Maybe instead of all the above, you look at the city tours offered by Parisvision or Cityrama.. example:



en.parisvision.com/2,15-paris-cruise.htm



That is a 1.5 hour tour of Paris, then one of the Seine cruises, for 30€. Then use your multi-trip Carte Orange pass for your ride from CDG, the metro in Paris, RER to Versailles, and anything else you want to do in 5 zones.
