Can I buy fast-track tickets?

Only tickets purchased online guarantee access to the museum. If you are a regular visitor, you can become a member of the Amis du Louvre and skip the queues by entering the museum via the Richelieu entrance.

Can I get a refund?

The sale of tickets for admission to the museum or a related service is considered a sale of leisure services and confers no right to a refund. Tickets cannot be refunded or resold. However, in the event of cancellation or modification of the relevant service by the Louvre, or an error in processing the order by the museum, you will be entitled to a refund.

If that is the case, you will need to send your request by email, within one month of the date for which the reservation was made, by form or by post to Musée du Louvre – Assistance billetterie – 75058 PARIS CEDEX 01.

Can I use my ticket to access temporary exhibitions?

Tickets cover admission to both the permanent collections and the temporary exhibitions of the Louvre, and admission to the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix within 48 hours of first use.
For popular temporary exhibitions, booking a time slot may be highly recommend or obligatory.
