Hi all
I just went on the Louvre official website to get tickets for Friday 9/25. That dat and the 26th appear unavailable! All other dates around them are available. Is tit possible those 2 dates are sold out already?? Is there something happening those 2 days? HELP!

My guess is it has to do with the Pope's visit to Paris on those days (25-26 Sept). There are so far no events directly scheduled at the Louvre, but a number of events somewhat close by at Notre-Dame and Place de la Concorde.

Yes, it is due to the Pope’s visit. I contacted the Louvre because there were no tickets for those dates and this was their reply:
Thank you for your message.
On 25 and 26 September 2026, the Pope is due to visit Paris. A Mass will be held near our estate, at the Place de la Concorde.
We are awaiting further details from the Paris Police Prefecture regarding the impact of this event on access to the Louvre Museum.
Slots for this day are currently closed for reservations while access and reception arrangements are finalized.
We regret that we cannot be more precise about the date of posting for these slots: indeed, we prefer not to sell tickets for a visit that we cannot guarantee.
