## 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.

- Booking: Book a time slot on the official site. It's recommended even if you get in free.
- Opening hours: 9:00 to 18:00; until 21:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays. Last entry an hour before closing.
- Closed: Tuesdays, and 1 January, 1 May and 25 December
- Entrance: Under the glass Pyramid, or the Carrousel entrance from the underground mall. The Porte des Lions entrance, on the quai, takes ticket holders only; it closes at 18:00 (last entry 17:00) and on Tuesdays. Métro Palais-Royal / Musée du Louvre, lines 1 and 7, or Pyramides, line 14.
