About louvre.travel

louvre.travel is an independent guide to visiting the Louvre: tickets, opening hours, the rooms open each day and guided tours compared option by option. It is not connected with the Musée du Louvre.

The site

Louvre tickets, rooms and tour comparisons

The site answers what a visitor has to settle before the day: what the ticket costs and who enters free, when the museum is open, which collections are closed on which day, where the main works are, and whether a guided tour is worth its price next to the official ticket.

It covers the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden beside it, not Paris as a whole.

The facts

How does louvre.travel check prices and hours?

Prices, hours, entrances and rules are read from the museum's own pages, and every page shows the day they were checked. The schedule of closed collections is the museum's own, read for each day of the week.

Where two official pages disagree, the page says so and gives both. What the museum does not state, such as a waiting time or a quiet hour, is not written.

Tour prices, group sizes and start times come from the sellers' listings. How they are compared is on the page about how we pick tours.

The money

How does louvre.travel earn money?

From commissions on tours booked through its links to Viator and Tiqets. The official ticket office earns the site nothing, and the site says when the official ticket is the better choice.

The affiliate disclosure page explains which links earn a commission and where that affects the order of tours.
