Actually you can re-enter (metro) as long as it’s in the time period. The gate will pass you and controller can only check time. I’ve just did it and had control – almost a heart attack 😀
The “ticket t+” (more detailed rules in French) is the only “general purpose” ticket in Paris (there are also concessionary tickets, point-to-point tickets for travel in the suburbs, etc., and passes for a day or more). You can buy it from a machine in any metro station or from various shops around the city and the suburbs. Buy them ten at a time (“un carnet” [œ̃.kaʁ.nɛ]), it’s significantly cheaper, there’s no expiration date (though if you keep them for years beware that the tickets are magnetic and I think the rules changed recently so that you are no longer automatically due a replacement if they become demagnetized). Once you’ve bought the tickets, they’re just 10 pieces of paper, not a single 10-use ticket, so multiple travelers can use one ticket each.
You can use each ticket for either a train trip or a bus/tram trip.
If you pick a train trip, you can make one journey inside the network.
If you pick a bus/tram trip, you can make connections under certain conditions:
You can also use a ticket t+ for the Montmartre funicular. The same ticket cannot be used for anything else.
There are also passes:
If you need enter/exit the subway multiple times, the most certain way is to buy a 24h unlimited ticket. It’s more expensive of course, but if you travel a lot in one day it might be worth it.
Concerning the single fare ticket (which lasts 90 minutes and not two hours BTW), this site warns you that re-entry will not be possible:
Paris Metro Ticket transfers are allowed between: …
One Metro line to another, without exiting the confines of a station
Right answer to
Can you exit and re-enter with the same ticket in Paris Metro?
is : no for a basic subway ticket and yes your ticket is valid for 1 hour and 30 minutes for buses and 2 hours for train, while you stay inside the public transportation network.
Actually it is a single trip ticket which mean you can use it from point A to point B. To do this trip you may need to take multiple subway lines or bus lines and you will not have to pay to take those different lines.
Warning ! With the same basic single-trip ticket you cannot connect between underground (metro or RER) and above ground (bus and tram)
@mts is talking about a website which is the official one about Parisian public transportation network.

I have lived in Paris for 20 years so if you need more information about that it would be a pleasure.
According to this official transports of Paris web site:
The standard ticket (ticket t+) as purchased at the machines (i.e. not on board a bus from the driver) allows you to
In the metro the ticket is checked at entrance turnstiles but keep your ticket until the end of your journey in case you run into a control. There is a time-limit of 2h for metro and RER (source in French) but it would be unusual to have a journey this long.
A ticket that allows more transfers is at least a day ticket (or longer durations).
