The Paris Museum Pass is the only product that gives you unlimited entry to 55+ of the city’s top museums and monuments — including the Louvre, Versailles, Musée d’Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe, and dozens more — for a single fixed price.
Skip every ticket queue. Pass holders use a separate entrance at all covered venues — no waiting to buy tickets on the day.
Significant savings. Three major venues — Louvre (€32/$35), Versailles (€25/$27), Orsay (€16/$17) — already total €73 (~$80). Add two more and the 2-day pass has paid for itself.
Buy online, collect easily. Your voucher arrives by email after purchase. Exchange it for your physical pass at designated collection points — Paris tourist offices, FNAC stores, or CDG/Orly airport desks.
Buy now, activate later. The pass doesn’t start counting until your first museum visit — buy months ahead with no effect on validity.
Buy before you travel. Purchase online from home, receive your voucher by email, and collect your pass on arrival in Paris — no last-minute queues to buy.
Pick 2, 4, or 6 days based on how many museums you plan to visit. Most first-time visitors to Paris for 4–6 nights choose the 4-day pass. Use our worth-it calculator if you’re unsure.

Receive your voucher by email
After purchase you’ll receive a confirmation and voucher by email. Keep this accessible — you’ll exchange it for your physical pass at a collection point in Paris (tourist offices, FNAC stores, or CDG/Orly airport desks). The pass is a physical card, not a digital QR code.

Book timed entry slots, then visit
Several major venues — including the Louvre and Versailles — require a separate timed entry reservation. Book these as soon as your itinerary is confirmed. You don’t need the pass in hand to book. Your pass activates on first use, not on your purchase date. See the full mandatory reservations list →
The pass covers your entry fee — but at several major venues you still need to book a separate timed entry slot. This is one of the most common mistakes visitors make.
Book timed entry before you travel — especially for the Louvre and Versailles. Slots fill weeks in advance in peak season. You do not need your pass to book — just a date and time. See the full reservations guide for every venue that requires booking.
Venues that currently require timed entry reservations for pass holders include the Louvre, Palace of Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, and Musée de l’Orangerie, among others. The full list with direct booking links is on our mandatory reservations page →
Note: The Museum Pass does not include the Grandes Eaux Musicales (Musical Fountain Shows) at Versailles on summer weekends. You will need a separate supplement ticket for those specific gardens events.
Break-even example for the 2-day pass (€90 / ~$98): Louvre €32 + Versailles €25 + Musée d’Orsay €16 + Sainte-Chapelle €22 = €95 (~$104) in individual tickets for just four venues. The pass pays for itself — and you still have 50+ more venues to visit for free.

When you buy through Tiqets, you receive a voucher by email which you exchange for a physical pass at a collection point in Paris — tourist offices, FNAC stores, or CDG/Orly airport desks. The Paris Museum Pass is a physical card, not a digital QR code you show on your phone. Plan time to collect it on arrival. See our digital vs physical guide →
Children under 18 who are EU residents enter all French national museums free — they don’t need a pass at all. For non-EU children, many venues offer free entry to under-12s regardless of nationality. Check each venue individually. See our children and under-26 guide →
For the 2-day pass (€90 / ~$98), you need around 4 major venues — the Louvre, Versailles, Orsay and Sainte-Chapelle alone total €95 (~$104) in individual tickets. The 4-day pass (€109 / ~$119) pays off with 5 venues. Use our worth-it calculator to check your specific itinerary.
Yes — and in fact you must collect the physical pass in Paris regardless of where you buy it. Buying online through Tiqets means you receive a voucher by email, then exchange it for your pass at a Paris tourist office, FNAC store, or CDG/Orly airport desk. The price is the same as buying in person. The advantage of buying online is you can plan ahead and go straight to the collection point rather than joining a purchase queue. See our where to buy guide →
If you lose your Tiqets voucher email before collecting — you can retrieve it from your email account or Tiqets account. If you lose the physical pass itself after collecting it, there is no replacement and no refund. Keep it safe once collected. See our lost pass guide →
