Before you buy
Catches
- The pass is not a queue-jump: the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles and Sainte-Chapelle still want a free timed reservation made with the pass number.
- Days are consecutive and start at your first entry, not at purchase.
- Prices rose sharply for 2026 (2 days about €90) after the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle raised non-EU prices (check).
- Under-18s and EU/EEA residents aged 18–25 already get into national museums free, so they do not need a pass.
Free and cheaper routes
- Orsay, the Orangerie and Picasso are free on the first Sunday of the month (booking still needed); several national monuments join November–March.
- The Louvre is free on the first Friday evening of the month except July and August.
- The City of Paris museums (Carnavalet, Petit Palais, Modern Art Museum) have free permanent collections.
