The RER trains, RATP and Metro system in Paris is not for free when travelling by InterRail.
There is only a discount on the connection by RER from Paris Charles de Gaule (CDG airport) to Paris Gare du Nord (station).
You need a contremarque for entering (and also to exit) the RER system. You will get it at Paris CDG Terminal 1. Show your InterRail pass at a ticket window.
More information about the connection Paris CDG to the city center is: [u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-cdg-airport-paris-gare-du-nord/f1126[/u]

for the RER=these are a kind of express metro's, running onward out of Paris on lines that belong to SNCF=the state and strike-rich French railways, IR should be valid depending on the actual traject. It never hurts asking.....
The fares for normal metro are quite cheap compared to what most west-eur countries charge:
single is 1,70 (or maybe 1,80 now).
a carnet of 10 tickets is 12,50. These are ''ticket-t'' and you an use it for:
1 ride on the urban metro, ALL of it (Zones do not matter), as long as you can manage to stay inside, incl. 1 ride in zone 1=centre on the RER
2.1 ride on ANY local bus or tram in the whole of the Paris-Ile de de France region, incl. any correspondance=change within 90 mins after the 1st trip.
There are also day tickets, named Mobilis, by zone (do not take the far more expensive Paris-visite, unless you also want to go by train to the aiports) and in weekends there is ticket-jeune, a cheaper daypass for youth <26.
check ratp.fr or transilien.fr for current prices and details.
