As suggested by another poster I had not considered the Carte Orange as
an option as I perhaps foolishly assumed you had to be a resident as
employers pay part of the costs of such tickets IIRC? I may need to do
some more investigation.

My French is not wonderful and I got the details from the French
version of the RATP website (the English version unsurprisingly
doesn't mention Carte Orange), but there's no suggestion of local
residence for a Carte Orange.

The Carte Integrale (sp?) required French residence, but that's a
monthly or longer season and is paid for by bank transfer.

I suspect employers can pay for or towards RATP seasons, just as
happens in the UK with rail or PTE seasons, but I couldn't see any
"special" tickets on the website which were only for those groups.
