hi,
im planning a trip with my family of four. 2 adults and 2 under 18s ( 13,15). i was wondering which tickets / passes would be best for us and most budget friendly. were arriving on sunday evening after 6pm ( using uber to reach our hotel ) but hoping to explore in the evening. spending the whole day on monday in paris were hoping to visit versailles for the garden only too so looking for possibly unlimited transport. were then spending the morning on tuesday in paris and heading to the airport at around 11am ( ubering again) but planning to spend the early morning exploring a bit.
any help is appreciated thanks

For a 3-day visit not coinciding exactly with Navigo Week pass and needing immediate unlimited ride access, and price being a concern, I'd suggest multiple Navigo Day passes at 12€/day (same price for everyone, there are no children fares for this pass). This pass covers all zones (including Versailles, but does not allow airports access).
You'll need to buy each person a Navigo Easy (2€) card on which to load the Navigo Day pass. You can only load two Navigo Day passes onto the card at one time. (And you must specify the days you want the day passes active, at the time of purchase.) This can be done at any Paris Metro/RER station ticket window. So if you need a 3rd day to cover Tuesday morning unlimited rides, then you'll need to load that Navigo Day pass on Monday (since the Sunday / arrival day Navigo Day pass would have expired at midnight, thus only 1 Day Pass remains on your Navigo Easy card and another can now be loaded).
