The Louvre does not offer anymore tickets at the stands, you need to buy your tickets online, in advance.
In 2024, the Louvre is not showing tickets for more than 2 months ahead.
I recommend you buy tickets online from the official website, at least 1 month prior the Louvre guided tour.
Skip-the-line / Museum Pass / Passport
Skipping the Line is not anymore granted, even with a certified tour guide. It is only possible for holders of a special card from "Amis du Louvre".
Museum Pass : With the museum pass, you still need to make a reservation. You need a "free" ticket, and you will wait in line with a timed ticket.
The museuml pass starts when you use it the first time at one of the Louvre checkpoints. If the 4-days Pass starts, it will end on the 4th day counting from the first day (actually that first hour) it was used, regardless if you use it the second day or not.
Do not forget to bring your ID just in case the security needs to check it.
The Louvre sells only Regular tickets : 22 euro
I advise to buy your tickets from official websites : the Louvre official website or the official Fnac website.
How far in advance can you buy Louvre tickets?
In 2024, it seems that the Louvre Museum is expecting to host some special events and exhibits for the Olympic Games. That's why the tickets do not appear on the official website for more than March 31, 2024.
6 people < 1 Group < 24 people < 2 groups
The Louvre considers a group visit : any group of people with more than 6 people, visiting the Louvre with a tour guide.
Any group of more than 6 people (6 is not a group, 7 is a group)
A Group must buy the Right to Speak / Droit de parole. The right ot speak is a Louvre rule for the guide, to regulate big groups visiting the Louvre, in order to have less people "yelling" in the museum and keep the Louvre experience peaceful for everyone.
In addition to the right to Speak (70 euro) , you will need to buy individual tickets (17 euro per adult, 0 euro for children < 18).
if you are a family of 7 people?
*if you go with a certified tour guide :
2 adults + 5 children = 7 people => you will need a right to speak 70 euro from the Louvre + 2 adult tickets (17X2 = 34 euro) from the Louvre + Price of the guided service.
*if you don't go with a certified tour guide :
You do not need a reservation for the right to speak, as you do not have a guide. You will need to buy only two adult tickets (17X2 = 34 euro)
I hope this is helpful. If not, contact me by email with your questions. I will be happy to answer you.
if you are a classroom of more than 24 people?
In order to control the flow of crowds, the museum can not admit a group of more 24 people all together.
So if your group is more than 24 people, you must constitute 2 groups with 2 guides or 2 different time slots.
What about a group of 30 people?
a group of 30 people can not visit the Louvre all together, not even with a certified guide. 30 people at the same time is just impossible.
You need to split into 2 groups of 15 people.
I can purchase the tickets for you.
Be careful : all tickets are personal with your name and must be timed and dated..
You can't buy tickets from another app or another website claiming to sell "skip-the-line tickets".
You can't complain either, as these platform do not have support and they are often international (they are not local to France).
For example : the FNAC is the only French company allowed to sell National museums tickets because the FNAC (Fédération Nationale d'achats) is historically selling cultural shows and spectacle tickets since 1970.
If you decide to buy the tickets with me, I will not add any fees, just the exact amount : 22 euro.
I will need your dates, your family name and the number of adults/ children in your party.
Your private & confidential personal data will never be stored or shared. It is used strictly only to buy the tickets.
This is where to go to check if your time slot is still available :
Your Louvre tickets should look like this.
Please verify with your provider that you have your name & date & hour & a bar code on a pdf ticket from the official Louvre Billeterie
