This is what the "NOTE" in Wiki[1] is actually recommending.
I admit I did not read that "NOTE" since I (wrongly) assumed I know how
to pass Paris from past experience. This proves that reading the docs
*before* something might go wrong could be helpful. ;-)
I personally had no idea what "RER B" might be thus asking the stuff at
the entrance to the Metro worked as well. I might add the following
experience: I've bought a Metro ticket inside the TGV to Paris to not
loose time. Strangely enough you need to pass **two** barriers to enter
Line 5. I talked to the stuff and they let me pass with my single Metro
usage ticket. (Not sure what went wrong here.)
Hope we now made sufficient noise about non-normal passing between Paris
railway stations.
Have a safe travel to Brest
Andreas.
