For 9 days, it would probably be easier to buy a zone 1-2 Navigo for one week (around 21EUR each, if I remember correctly + a one-time 5EUR for the card itself) and then a carnet for the extra two days. That would cost you about the same but gives increased convenience. Might even be a few EUR cheaper.
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.

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!
