Frequently asked questions
Where do I collect the physical Museum Pass?
Head to 3 Place des Pyramides, 75001 Paris, open daily from 09:00 to 16:00. You must exchange your voucher there before visiting any museum — the pass is not valid as a digital ticket.
When does my Museum Pass validity start?
The clock starts from the moment you use the pass for your first museum entry, not from the date of purchase. A 2-day pass gives you 48 consecutive hours; a 4-day pass gives you 96 hours from that first visit.
Can I visit the same museum twice on one pass?
No — the pass grants a single admission per site, regardless of how many days your pass covers.
What time does the Seine cruise depart?
Departure times vary depending on passenger numbers and river water levels. Check the Bateaux Parisiens official website on the day for the current schedule.
Is the audio guide on the cruise free, and what languages does it cover?
Yes, the audio guide is included. You can stream it on your smartphone via the on-board Wi-Fi, or use a wired handset on the lower deck. The wired version includes additional languages such as Korean, Dutch, and Polish.
Are children admitted free to the museums?
Visitors under 18 are admitted free at many of the included museums and monuments. Age ranges and specific requirements vary by site, so it is worth checking the details for each venue you plan to visit.
