I bought a Duo membership to the Musee D'Orsay, which I understand to mean I may bring one guest (my spouse). Our first visit there will be on Thursday morning, April 30. I would like to leave for the afternoon and perhaps go back with my husband that evening when they have late hours. The wording on the Duo membership, unfortunately, is confusing. It says "You can invite a different person every time you visit, limited to one guest per day." Does that mean the guest gets one entry a day (my husband could only coming in the morning OR the evening, not both) or that they don't want me to bring one person in the morning and an entirely different person at night? Sorry if this is a bit in the weeds but this group is so smart I thought it was worth a shot. Thanks! (PS I emailed the museum but haven't heard back)

Hi Admiral - it means the latter. You could take your husband in twice in one day - but you couldn't take, for example, your husband in the morning and then your college roommate in the afternoon .....

Since you've got a good answer from Kim, also note that with the Carte Blanche you can get in at 9A instead of having to wait until 930. My plan is a 9A entry with a sprint to the Renoir exhibition to begin with!
Do make sure you know where to enter with the Carte Blanche. It is at the old front door area not the new temporary entrance down the side of the building.
Here's the link to the entrances. You will eat the Blue #2, the Forecourt or Parvis entrance.

I am not sure they control the guest -- our Paris friend has more than once taken me in the morning and my husband in the afternoon. I had no idea that was an issue and I am sure she doesn't know either. My. name was never given -- she shows the card with her picture on it and then let us in
