Swiss under 26 - free entry to Paris public museums?

Note that the issue is not passport but residency so if you are a resident outside the EU but carry a Swiss passport, you are not entitled to the free visits.

That's what I had initially thought, yet some sites simply say citizen of a nation, but not proof of residency is what they're looking for, and others do. It's quite confusing! Some people have said the entrance has just asked to see their basic ID card, and some haven't. I guess I'll just have to try where I may. Thank you for the input!

The law is residency for these benefits but you can probably cheat with a passport if you hold a passport from an EU nation. The point is that taxpayers in the EU are paying for these sites and so get the special breaks. An American who holds dual citizenship is not paying for the resource.

Ah, I see, I see. Well, I'll try, but seeing as Switzerland is not part of the EU anyhow, I doubt it'll work! Couldn't hurt to try though, but I'm glad I nipped this in the bud so I can budget accordingly ahead of time. Thanks again - you've been helpful!
