If you don't have a transport pass then the one way fare is €5 and you can buy the tickets from a machine. Trains depart from Gare du Nord and it is line H.
The website I prefer for info about getting to Auvers-sur-Oise is. I use the local transport websites for transport info but I'm sure citymapper will work fine. Visit the tourist office when you are there if you have any questions and to get other free info (booklets, pamphlets etc.). See the tourist office website to learn what to see and do in Auvers-sur-Oise: Ah, BTW, any location in the 10th, 11th, 3rd arrondissement will have plenty of métro stations and lines within a 300 m radius, you won't have to trek like half a mile to get to one métro or RER station like you would from Hôtel Amélie.
To be honest, given your priorities, if I were you I would ditch the 7th for a real Paris neighborhood, with real, live, local people to watch and mingle with that would have to be on the right bank, around République, Bastille, Canal Saint-Martin. In that neighorhood there will be more happening in the monument department than on the café society side. I also think there is a tall iron tower in the vicinity. On the other hand, dead though the 7th might be, you have plenty of "big tourist things" within walking distance: musée Rodin, Invalides, musée de l'Armée, musée du Quai Branly, Orsay. In terms of people watching at your local café, it will be more likely to be Chrissie from Des Moines and Gary from Tallahassee than Léa from Dupleix. Good for you, but, then, what are we supposed to help you with? The "doing nothing and people watching option" is your choice, but not really adapted to the location of your hotel: in the 7th, there are no locals except people working in the hospitality business and nearby ministries. Otherwise, I don't really understand the goal of your post, since, basically, you are telling us that apart from the baguette thingy, you don't have any plans and don't want to visit any monument or museum. You don't want "to do the big tourist things" and though you have booked a "baguette making experience", well, how "big tourist thing" is that ?!!! Wow, anyways, it shows that French entrepreneurs, after all, are very imaginative when it comes to milking the tourist cash cow! You also say that you are staying at Hôtel Amélie, one of the big tourist clichés on this board, located in tourist-only 7th arrondissement.
, haven't you? Well, it's the same principle for Paris, you just look at the map and go station by station. But there is no need to be anxious about a mass transit system, I guess you have already used one in your own continent, NYC, Montréal, Boston, etc. How many days will you be spending in Paris? There is a special "primer" thread on Navigo that will help you out on the best version of the pass to choose according to your number of days, your day of arrival, etc.
