These tickets were very easy to use. We got the the Louvre about 25 minutes early and were through the doors by 9:05am. If you are going for the Mona Lias though, I'd recommend getting there a bit earlier for the line as people literally ran to see her and get photos. The Louvre was great - just very difficult to navigate (even with holding a map in my hand and having a digital one on my phone). We spent about 3 hours here walking around, but it's definietly a whole day adventure, we just had other places to be. Museum fatigue is defineitly a struggle here, the food is quite expensive, and there's not a lot of places to sit, but we enjoyed our time nonetheless.

We were slightly late so did not have to queue - a bonus as we had queued for another Musee earlier in the pouring rain. Perhaps shelter over the queueing area for those waiting. Louvre was busy and layout quite confusing. Lots of stairs and long walks. However, we saw some Of the most fantastic and notable art works. Toilets were not in a good state. Some Out of order, long queues and actual facilities not very clean. The shopping mall under the Louvre was a surprise and had a good range of shops, restaurants, etc.

Our guide was exceptionally enthusiastic, friendly, and highly informative, which we truly appreciated. Her passion and knowledge greatly enriched the tour. However, I encountered a technical issue with the headsets, as they produced a significant amount of background noise throughout the experience. This unfortunately detracted from my ability to fully enjoy and engage with the guide’s commentary. I hope this can be addressed for future tours, as it would greatly enhance the overall experience.
