The official site first
The Louvre sells timed-entry tickets on its own site, ticket.louvre.fr. Pick a date and an entry time.
A ticket costs €32, or €22 for residents of the European Economic Area. Entry is free under 18, and for European Economic Area residents under 26. A time slot is recommended even when you get in free.
On the first Friday of the month, entry is free for everyone from 18:00, except in July and August. Book a free time slot all the same.
When the official site is sold out
Resellers hold their own allocations, so a slot can still turn up through them when the official site shows none, sometimes with a guide. Compare the entry time and what’s included before you pay.
What to avoid
Only ticket.louvre.fr is the official seller. Sites that borrow the Louvre’s name and sell “official” tickets at a markup aren’t official. The sellers listed on this page are resellers, and say so.
