Skip the line tickets

Hi all,
I've been seeing all these "Skip the line" tickets for sights such as the top of the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and The Louvre. I can understand buying advanced tickets for The Louvre but is it necessary for the others?
Thanks!

No need for advanced tickets the earlier or later you go in the day (that means not showing up from 10 am to 5pm) if you are not traveling in June and worst of all July and August.

If you are planning to visit several museums on consecutive days, check out the Paris Museum Pass. You skip the ticket-buying line and just show your pass after security. Note that Notre Dame does not need tickets and the security line moves quickly even if it looks long. You do need to reserve a time to go up in the Notre Dame towers - their website explains about downloading the app and signing up for a time on the morning of the day you want to visit. Half-way up you pay for admission or show your museum pass.
