There is the Museum Paris Pass to save on tour prices (and avoid queues).

There are 3 different passes, depending on the number of days, you can visit more than 60 museums and monuments.

  • The Paris Museum Pass 2 days at €62, i.e. €31 / day
  • The Paris Museum Pass 4 days at €77, i.e. €19.25 / day

If you decide to do 5 or more paid visits in 2 days (or at least 6 visits in 4 days or at least 8 visits in 6 days) then it becomes profitable.
