Samsung Galaxy users can tap their devices to board or transfer between buses, metros, and Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines, eliminating the need for physical cards or tickets.
Simplified Travel Across France
Samsung Galaxy users can also enjoy payment card-based transit in multiple French cities, including Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, and Aix-en-Provence.

Samsung Galaxy users can tap their device to pay and go, enhancing transport speed and accessibility.
Enhanced International Travel and Tourism
For international travel, Samsung Wallet now supports adding boarding passes for Air France and partner flights. Travelers can easily manage their boarding passes and enjoy smooth international payments and Add to Wallet capabilities when visiting France. Push notifications will prompt users to explore these features upon arrival, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
Samsung Wallet also enables the Add to Wallet function for tickets to iconic landmarks and attractions, making them accessible from a Samsung Galaxy device. Visitors can explore attractions like the Palace of Versailles and over 200 cinemas with ease
