Paris - queue at the ticket office at the gare du nord , buy a Mobilis

Heathrow - queue at the underground ticket office at Heathrow Central,
T4 or T5 and buy a One Day Travelcard or Bus Pass. Isn't that the
same?


Yes , except in Paris you won't get stitched for twice the price for
being a tourist and just buying a paper ticket.


ODTCs only cost about 50p more than the daily Oyster Prepay cap [which
reflects the fact that Prepay isn't valid on all NR services].
