Tickets to Musée d'Orsay & Louvre

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?

We enjoyed the 2nd floor Eiffel Tower visit in the morning but weather overcast so bought evening tickets for visit to summit. Well worth extra as weather brilliant. We then took the Bateaux Parisienne for Seine round trip. This is good way to see all central Paris from the Seine. Only drawback was we sat down below as top deck full of VERY NOISY school children. So not such a good view! The third part of combined ticket was the Hop-on Hop-off Big Bus. Very crowded and probably would not meet...

It was really nice not to worry about tickets. But don't take the skip-the-line too seriously because there are so many people using the pass that there were lines, quicker though. And if you only came to Louvre museum to see Mona Lisa, you might have a problem at this time. Nevertheless, it is not the fault of the pass, but the fact that the museum is modernising. A lot of stuff was unavailable, but if you decide not to see Mona Lisa, you may have the rest of the 3rd floor almost for yourself.

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.

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.

This pass was a good idea but didn't turn out to be great value for us. Worked great for the Louvre, but the ticket for Versailles is basically worthless since it's not timed entry (and you can't schedule that for free with the pass like you can at the Louvre) and also doesn't include the gardens and Trianon. Make careful note of what days museums are closed or you might end up with a pass and nowhere to use it.

We saved time at several places such as the Louvre and the Orsay museums. This pass is not accepted at Montparnasse Tower; you need the Museum pass card or tickets specifically bought for Montparnasse Tower. Staff was helpful when we picked up the passes and were asking questions snout what to see.

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.
