What to expect

With more than 500,000 works stored in its vast reserves and 35,000 on display to the public, the Louvre Museum is a symbol of France's cultural influence. In this historically rich place, millions of visitors flock each year to admire some of the most prestigious masterpieces in art. Mona Lisa, of course, but also Liberty Leading the People, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace. To satisfy everyone’s desires, the museum's collections cover all the major art movements from Antiquity to the 19th century. The masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Delacroix, and Rembrandt are waiting for your visit!

The Louvre Museum is one of the main attractions in Paris. To avoid long lines and immediately enjoy its rich collections, there's no more practical solution than to book a skip-the-line ticket! It will give you access to the Louvre's permanent collection as well as its temporary exhibitions. Thanks to Come to Paris, you can reserve your ticket in just a few clicks. A confirmation will then be immediately sent to your email. On the day of your visit, after passing through the magnificent glass pyramid, you just need to present your ticket in digital or paper form. It's that simple! With nearly 72,000 m² of exhibition space, the Louvre is now the largest museum in the world. It is inconceivable to see all of its collections. If you spent one minute in front of each artwork, it would take nearly 200 years to complete your visit. We therefore recommend that you plan your trip in advance and select the sections you would like to explore. The museum offers a comprehensive view of the history of art. Its eight departments – paintings, Egyptian antiquities, Greco-Roman antiquities, Near Eastern antiquities, sculptures, decorative arts, Islamic arts, and graphic arts – will allow everyone to find their happiness.

How you should use your personal pre-booked e-tickets to The Louvre

1. Proceed to the entrance that is reserved only for visitors who already have tickets, at the glass pyramid
2. Make sure you present your e-ticket no later than half an hour before your individual booked time *
3. Go through The Louvre's security check, which is designed for your safety
4. Now it's time to enjoy The Louvre's stunning permanent collection - as well as all of the museum's frequent temporary exhibitions (subject, naturally, to availability) throughout your day at The Louvre **

* It's important to remember that if you arrive too late for your individual access slot, as depicted on your e-ticket, the bearer of that e-ticket will be subject to the same terms of access to The Louvre - and waiting in the general queue - as all other visitors.

** Please do note that any exit from The Louvre is regarded as final. In short: if you leave The Louvre during your visit, you won't be allowed to enter the museum again on the same ticket.


Good to know

  • Your tickets will be sent to you - at the very latest - 48 hours after you make your reservation, and always 24 hours before the day and the time that you have reserved for your visit to The Louvre.
  • There's no need to print out your tickets because they will contain barcodes unique to you. Go directly to the turnstiles and scan your barcodes directly from your smartphone. It really is that easy. Of course, if you prefer to print out your e-tickets, that's possible too!
  • Your e-ticket additionally gives you free access - on the same day - to the fascinating National Eugène Delacroix Museum, dedicated to this most illustrious of French painters. The museum is located at 6 rue de Fürstenberg, 75006 Paris.
  • So that it can provide the best possible experience for all visitors, and the most relaxed experience for your visit, The Louvre cannot keep all of its many rooms open on each and every day. On Saturday and Sunday, however, The Louvre guarantees that all of its exhibition spaces will be open.
  • Entrance for all those under 18 and for EU residents who are under 26 is free of charge *.

* Those who qualify for free admission to The Louvre don't have to go to the ticket counter, if they are with someone who has a low-cost ticket, for example. Like those with pre-booked tickets, they can simply also enter via the entrance reserved for those with tickets so long as a valid identity document confirming their age and, in the case of EU residency, residential status, is presented.

Although very busy the Louvre with its vast variety of exhibits and art is not to be missed when visiting Paris. Come to Paris was excellent and allowed me to exchange my tickets for another day without penalty when something came up.

Did a little Europe trip and visited Rome before Paris. I’ll admit I’m not a museum buff so I found the Vatican Museums to be quite boring. The Louvre however was dope and I would go back.

Everything went perfect, besides that it was more crowded in the queue of those who had reserved tickets, than in the queue of people who did the hadn’t a reservation.

The entry with pre paid and printed ticket was seamless. Just security to go through. As always with the Louvre, busy at security checks - so a bit of a queue.
