Is it easy to get a Navigo card these days?

Yes, a "Navigo Découverte" is an unregistered Navigo card that cannot
be cancelled and reissued if lost, etc. You get a shrink-wrapped kit
with the card, a plastic holder for it and a photocard to stick your
picture to. Costs ?5 from stations, agents, etc.

In case anyone is thinking of getting a Navigo on their next visit to Paris,
please note that there is no Pay-As-You-Go facility. You can only load a
weekly or longer Travelcard-type "Carte Orange" on to a Navigo, and the
weekly/monthly seasons are only valid for calendar weeks/months (week
starting on Monday, month starting on the 1st). The 5 euro charge is AFAIK
not refundable.
