We didn't have to wait very long, thanks to the tickets purchased in advance via the app. Definitely worth a try! The riverboat ride was really nice too, and we really appreciated the Eiffel Tower!

We visited the Museum on a very crowded day and I must admit that the handling of the masses was more than appreciable evidently the approach to the works was a tad shared with dozens and dozens of people, the space with the Mona Lisa was almost impassable because of the turnout.

Paris is without a doubt a wonderful city. From Montmarte, with its artistic alleys, to the Louvre Museum, to the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, every corner smells of art. Even the Orsay Museum located in the train station with paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, the glass roof and its precious clock, an iconic symbol of French art, are part of this spectacular city . Skipping the queue and entering at the chosen time embellished the visit.

The fast track tickets were wonderful to have! The Orsay was so very crowded that without them we would have been in line for hours. We chose not to use the audio guide we purchased. Again crowd size limited our ability to stop, look and listen. In the future I will book sooner and get a tour guide. Thanks to head out- the only one to get us last minute tickets into the Orsay !

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

Everything went well. We received our tickets by e-mail 2 days before entry. We only waited 15 minutes in front of the entrance. I can only recommend Hedout.

I had already visited the museum in 1992. I remembered it vaguely, very endearing, I remember that the "Pere Tanguy" was hanging on a wall of the staircase. Now with the remodeling works and the acquisition of new sculptures acquisition of new sculptures, it has become wonderfully beautiful. A must for lovers of sculpture and especially those of Rodin. Ah, impressive the amount of pieces that can be seen, both inside and in the garden. You can not miss it!
