Fracilien AP by post?

[morag4801]

Hello
Has anyone successfully purchased Fracilien APs in advance, got them sent to their address in the UK, and used them on arrival and consecutive days thence?
I am planning my first trip to DLP in July - if we can do this with APs this will be better value for us than the 4 day pass.
The links on this thread for forms do not work - I have not seen place on French DLP site where these might be either...
If anyone could advise I would be most grateful.
Many thanks
Morag

You can't use the francillien on consecutive days following purchase. I think the first day you used it will be counted as the day of activation making the 2 days after non usable.

Taken from DLRP magic.

IMPORTANT: Passeport Annuel Francilien, the lowest-priced pass, cannot be used on the two days following its purchase, meaning it cannot always be used instead of a regular 3 Day Ticket. For example, if you bought it on a Monday, you would not be able to use it on the Tuesday and Wednesday which followed.

I remember last year someone did get info to say you could buy it beforehand and activate it before you got there meaning it could be used consecutively whilst there. At the time this did seem too good to be true and I dont think the person in question posted to let us know how they got on which leads me to think it wasnt possible.

However the fantasy AP can often cost the same as a 4 day pass or less if you can get sponsorship
