Frequently Asked Questions
What museums and monuments are included in the Paris Museum Pass?
The Paris Museum Pass covers more than 50 museums and monuments in Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France region. Key included sites include the Louvre Museum, Palace of Versailles, Musée d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe rooftop terrace, Sainte-Chapelle, Notre-Dame Towers, Musée de l'Orangerie (Monet's Water Lilies), Musée Rodin, Musée Picasso, Centre Pompidou, Army Museum (with Napoleon's Tomb), Panthéon, Cluny Museum (medieval art), Quai Branly Museum, Musée Marmottan Monet, Château de Fontainebleau, and Château de Chantilly, among many others.
How does the Paris Museum Pass save time at attractions?
The Paris Museum Pass allows you to skip the ticket purchasing queue at every included site — you present your pass directly at the entrance checkpoint or dedicated museum pass lane rather than joining the ticket office queue. In peak season, ticket queues at major sites like the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, and Versailles can stretch to 45–90 minutes; pass holders bypass these entirely and proceed directly to the security check. For sites with mandatory timed-entry reservations, the pass reduces your wait but you must still book a time slot in advance.
When does the Paris Museum Pass start counting?
The Paris Museum Pass activates automatically the first time you present it at any included museum or monument — there is no set start date until that moment. The pass then runs for 48, 96, or 144 consecutive hours from the precise time of first use. If you present it at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday, a 2-day pass is valid until 2:00 PM on Thursday. This means you should plan your first use for the beginning of a day to maximise your active hours; activating it in the afternoon shortens your first effective day of use.
Does the Paris Museum Pass include the Eiffel Tower?
No — the Eiffel Tower is not included in the Paris Museum Pass. The Eiffel Tower has a separate ticketing system operated directly by the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel and is not part of any French museum pass scheme. If you want Eiffel Tower access combined with museum access, other Paris combo passes exist that bundle both. The Paris Museum Pass is specifically focused on museums, monuments, and cultural heritage sites, of which it covers an exceptionally broad and valuable selection.
Which museums are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays?
Planning around closure days is essential for maximising your Paris Museum Pass. The Louvre Museum and Musée de l'Orangerie are closed on Tuesdays. The Musée d'Orsay, Musée Rodin, Musée Picasso, Centre Pompidou, and Musée Marmottan Monet are closed on Mondays. Versailles is open every day except Mondays. Sainte-Chapelle and the Arc de Triomphe are open daily. The Musée Marmottan Monet is also closed on Mondays. Check each site's specific closure days before planning your day-by-day itinerary.
Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it if I only plan to visit a few museums?
The Paris Museum Pass is most cost-effective for visitors planning to visit more than three or four major sites. Individual admission prices at the main included museums range from €13 to €23 per adult. Two visits to major sites — for example the Louvre (€22) and Versailles (€21) — already come close to recovering the cost of a 2-day pass. Three visits typically exceed it. For visitors planning a museum-focused itinerary across several days, the pass delivers clear financial value alongside the practical benefit of skipping ticket queues.
Do I need to make reservations in advance for sites included in the Paris Museum Pass?
Yes, for certain high-demand sites. The Louvre Museum, Musée de l'Orangerie, Hôtel de la Marine, Museum of the Art and History of Judaism, and Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine all require timed-entry reservations even when using the Paris Museum Pass — the pass does not guarantee entry without a booking. These reservations are free and made through each site's website or the Paris Museum Pass reservation page. For other included sites, the pass provides direct entry without advance booking, though arriving early on busy days is always advisable.
