Hello All,
I'm currently in Paris using my phone and the museum pass website is not working for me. Due to delays I did not buy my museum pass at the airport. Can anyone please give me a good place to buy one near where I'm staying and without having to wait in a long museum line? I'm staying in Le Marais near saint Sebastian froissart metro.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks!
John
Any museum or attraction covered by the pass can sell you one. The one nearest to your metro is the Picasso Museum. Maybe this link to the interactive map from the PMP website will work for you. Good luck!
If the Picasso museum has a long line you can try the Carnavalet museum, also in the Marais not far from the Picasso, I never encountered a line there and that's where I bought my pass.
How about the next museum you plan to visit ? Took us five minutes at Invalides and about the same at the Cluny on an earlier trip.
Also with the closures right now, think about whether it makes sense to buy a pass. Currently the Louvre and the Orsay are still closed.
Ahh Picasso and carvalet are excellent, but both are closed today unfortunately.
My first museum trip will be tomorrow at d'orsay if they're open, but it will be around 3 pm which is why the pass is so important. I imagine line would be long around that time.
Versailles is also planned for Wednesday and I already booked the king 's tour to skip lines. I suppose I could buy online, but would I need to print it? Or just show invoice on phone?
Louvre (if open) planned Wednesday night, again skipping what I assume would be a long line at 5-6 pm is imperative.
The National Museum of Modern Art in the Pompidou , a fabulous museum is open today. You can buy it there. It's two shakes from where you are staying.
If you're out walking around Notre Dame, you can buy the pass at the TI kiosk in the plaza in front of the cathedral. Also at the Conciergerie (open on Mondays) very close to the Sainte-Chapelle (don't go there - you have to pass through the security line before you get to the ticket booth).
The Orangerie and the Jewish museum (71 rue du Temple) are open on Mondays.
Near the Opera, stop in Galeries Lafayette (beautiful dome - worth seeing). The dome is in the main building, next door in the men's shop "Homme" and there's a TI desk that sells them, open today til 8 pm)
Also, per the website, at the news kiosk at 2, rue de la Legion d'Honneur - very close to the Orsay (open today until 3 pm; rest of the week from 8.30-7 pm.
John,
You may already have your Paris Museum Pass in hand. If not,
you may also buy it at the Cluny Museum (very short or unexisting lines) which is located in the Latin quarter & it's open today (closed Tuesday).
The website indicates that it's undergoing some renovations but it's open to the public.
Enjoy Paris!
