Paris 2, Richard 1

At Gare du Nord, I noticed a broken exit turn-style--good luck for me. I took the opportuninty to get out and buy a ticket for the remainder of my trip (1.6 euros). Again, the kiosks, though not out of order, would not take my card and only accept coins as cash input. I had a 10 euro note. I knew that there was another set of turn-styles to get to the #5 (none broken), so I had to go wait in a lengthy line to get a manned booth for the ticket purchase. I call that a wash.
