Paris Museum Pass
Prepaid entry to 50+ museums and monuments — pays off fast if you sightsee hard.
The call
Worth it for the right traveler.
Why
- 01
If you'll hit several big sights in a few days (Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, Arc, Sainte-Chapelle), it saves real money and lets you walk past ticket queues.
Our read - 02
The catch: the Louvre and a few others still require a separate timed reservation, and it doesn't cover the Eiffel Tower.
Our read - 03
One flat fee covers 50+ sites — Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe — which is most of a classic Paris hit list.

Non-EEA visitors break even at just three large museums, so a serious museum trip easily nets €50–€80 in savings.

Plan it well
- Cost
- €79 (2-day) / €94 (4-day) / €125 (6-day)
- Timing
- Best for consecutive busy museum days; the clock runs on calendar days once activated. Summer maximizes the line-skip value.
- Booking
- Covers 50+ sites with skip-the-line; nine venues still need a free timed reservation (Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, Conciergerie, Orangerie, Hôtel de la Marine, Cité de l'Architecture, Notre-Dame Towers). Does not skip security lines at Versailles/Eiffel Tower.
- Allow
- Pass (2/4/6 consecutive days)
- Accessibility
- Covers entry only; disabled visitors and carers often enter free without a pass — check individual sites.
- Getting there
- Buy online or at participating museums and tourist offices; activate at first site.
