Louvre map

The Louvre has four entrances, and which one you use depends on what you hold: a booked ticket, no ticket, or a group booking or membership card. Choose yours on the map below.

Checked on 13 November 2026

With a booked ticket, use the Pyramid, the Carrousel or the Porte des Lions. Without a ticket, only the Pyramid.
