That would cost you about the same but gives increased convenience. Might even be a few EUR cheaper.
One big advantage of the carnet is that they never expire, so any left over can be used next time.

We're just back from a couple of days in Paris and we used carnets my parents probably bought in the 1980s. They worked perfectly. Ironically, carnets left over from last year, did not work. However, we were able to exchange them for working ones at the Info booth.

It could be. But I don't know if the colour had changed over the years. They were simpler (in appearance) than the new ones.

my recollection of my first trip to paris in the late 70s is that the carnet tickets were blue...but that was many passports ago.....i didn't know they didn't expire, as I have several yellow ones left over from 2011!! thanks!
