Paris Museum Pass and Tickets
Paris Museum Pass
As the name indicates, the Paris Museum Pass covers the city’s plethora of museums - more than 60 are included under this pass. You can get the pass in different time increments to best fit your stay in Paris, and people who are using a Museum Pass in Paris also get to bypass some entrance lines. That’s a particular bonus if you’re travelling in the peak season. Some of the museums included in the Paris Museum Pass are the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon’s Tomb at Les Invalides, the Musée d’Orsay, the Centre Pompidou, the Pantheon, the Musée de l’Orangerie, Sainte-Chapelle, the Rodin Museum, the Picasso Museum, the towers and crypt of Notre Dame, and even the offbeat Paris Sewers Museum. And the list goes on. In fact, there are chateaux and museums outside the city of Paris that are also covered by the Museum Pass. Even better? There’s no limit to the number of times you can visit the sites covered by the pass. Want to swing through the Louvre every day of your week-long visit? Go for it.
The Paris Museum Pass comes in 2-day or 4-day increments, and you can buy the pass well in advance of your trip because there’s no expiration date on them. Along with the pass, you’ll get a brochure that explains how to use it and tells you all of the museums and monuments covered by it.

Arc de Triomphe: a unique view of the Champs-Élysées, the world’s most beautiful avenue.
The Arc de Triomphe was begun in 1806, on the orders of Napoleon I to honour the victories of his Grande Armée.
Inspired by the great arches of antiquity, the monument combines the commemorative with the symbolic and it has always played a major role in the national republican consciousness. Every evening, the flame is lit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War. An exhibition portrays the history and explains its symbolic importance, nationally as well as internationally. The terrace provides superb views both by day and night across the city and its great sweeping avenues.

Pantheon: temple dedicated to the memory of the men and women who have marked French history since the Revolution.
With the Pantheon, architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot met Louis XV's to glorify the monarchy in the form of a church dedicated to Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris.
The edifice was deconsecrated during the Revolution in 1791 and renamed the Pantheon. During the turbulent years of the 19th century, as regimes changed, it alternated in its role as religious and patriotic monument. Since 1885, the year of Victor Hugo's death and burial in the Pantheon, it has been the last resting place for authors, scientists, generals, churchmen and politicians who have made the history of France. The crypt houses the tombs of more than 70 illustrious figures including Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, Pierre and Marie Currie etc. The recently restored upper floors enjoy superb views across the city (open from April to October).
