Yes, covers all public transport in Ile de France, including airports (and the Montmartre funicular, if it's currently working!)

That's great. Thanks, PG, so I can get the pass and use it from the airport.

The montages on the BBC prior to the closing ceremony are making me cry.

I will never ever forget the Wimbledon montage done to Everybody Hurts by REM back in the 90s. It totally destroyed me.
