| If you're planning to visit a number of museums in a short time,
it's worth buying the Carte Musées et Monuments (1-day ¬12.20, 3-day
¬24.39, 5-day ¬36.59), available from the tourist office, métro stations,
museums, and the Eurostar terminal at London Waterloo. Valid for seventy
museums and monuments in and around Paris, the pass allows you to bypass
ticket queues (though it doesn't provide entry to special exhibitions
and you will still need to queue up for security checks). Reduced
admission is often available for those over 60 and under 18, for which
you'll need your passport as proof of age, and for students under 26,
for which you'll need an ISIC (International Student Identity Card).
Many museums and monuments are free for children under twelve, and
nearly always for kids under four. Under-26s can also get a free Youth
Card, Carte Jeune , available in France from youth travel agencies like
USIT and from main tourist offices (¬18.29, valid one year), which
entitles you to reductions throughout Europe. Some museums have free or
half-price admission on Sunday; many are closed on Monday and Tuesday. |
