Tickets to Musée d'Orsay & Louvre

We visited Paris 30 years after we honeymooned there and the Paris Pass helped visit most of the art galleries and sights without queueing. It was also Bastille day with fantastic fireworks at Eiffel tower. Pity about all the security nowadays think they have ruined the Eiffel tower with the glass wall....But it is what it is! Still a fantastic city to visit and great food

It is worth the money only if you go to two places on the same day; if you don’t, you might lose money. The thing is that you might be too tired to be able to go to a second place the same day. And I am 34 years old, still with plenty of energy. It is also worth it for Versailles, as it is quite an expensive plan (27 euros the full entrance). You need to have spare time to go pick up the Paris Museum Pass (if you bought it online), as you have to have the physical card

Alex our guide was the best. 1. He spoke English very well and understood both the French and america customs and culture. 2. He took us to see the pieces of art that our private group was most interested in. 3. Great story teller! Connecting art history and artists throughout time. 4. Overall, best money spent.

One time I left the pass in my appartment. It’s a pity you cann’t prove via your mobile that you are in possesion of the pass. For a large museum like The Louvre, just one visit is a limitation. The pick up took quite some time. Why not a choice in locations or a digital pass?

All went great. There was a new step to get into the Louvre that we did not know about, getting a reservation time. Their web site (the Louvre) could not handle all the traffic well and had to wait until the night after we got our vouchers to make the reservation. If you’re on a strict schedule, this could cause a problem. Not sure how to resolve this, maybe get our voucher numbers ahead of time would help.

So after getting to the louvre and finding out that all tickets were sold out (thanx to my friend) I was sulking when I eavesdropped in this couple having the same experience. The guy then said “we are all set” and headed off I found out what he did and got me a 2 day city pass. Long story short...got into the louvre. Also there are all these amazing museums in there that you can go to. After the louvre I went to musee de l’orangerie and saw beautiful monet’s and the museum was packed with impressionistic art!!! This pass is for sure a must!!! I plan on getting another next time I’m there to hot up another museum that has the unicorn tapestries.

The museums we visited were amazing. The small museum pass booklet was convenient. However, the pickup location for the booklet and canal tour confirmation was not conveniently located, and the staff inside were not the friendliest nor efficient. Had we known, we would have picked up the booklet the day before our passes would start because getting the passes the day of ate away time we could have visited a museum or two. There were some museums that we had to stand in the “no ticket holder/time slot” line to enter, which took over an hour before we got in. Plan ahead to maximize your museum experience.

The 2-day pass a great deal if you visit at least 4 museums. You will also skip the long lines for buying tickets which is very nice since the lines can be very long. The only downside is that you have to pick up the pass in person, it would be nice to have it electronically sent.
