Does any one know if I can buy tickets for (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Versaille, etc.) ahead of travel time to get a discount? How about avoiding long tourist lines if you are only there for 3 days? Thanks,

Louvre: You can avoid the lines outside the pyramid or at the Porte des Lions entrance by entering the complex via the Carrousel du Louvre shopping center entrance, at 99 rue de Rivoli, or by following the "Musée du Louvre" exit from the Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre metro station. Eiffel Tower: You can buy tickets on the official site. However, one of the elevators is broken down so the lines can be two hours long. Read more about it on the site. Versailles: You can buy tickets on the official site. You can buy a two-day Paris Museum Pass online, but you'll have to pay extra to have it shipped to your home. Buy it at either CDG or Orly or at any participating museum or monument. The Eiffel Tower is not included on the pass. Pay attention to the days on which museums are closed. The Musee du Louvre is closed on Tuesdays. The Chateaux de Versailles and the Musee d'Orsay are closed on Mondays.
