France's Museums Free for Under 25 in April: What's Included?

Funny that I couldn't find any list!

The only details I could find are:
- 50 museums under direct state control;
- about another 100 national monuments, including l’Arc de triomphe, Versailles, Chambord and Fontainebleau castles, Mont-Saint-Michel, the Panthéon.

This doesn't fully answer your question but I hope it's a small step forward.

Thanks Dan! That is a lot of places--very exciting!

That's really funny. My wife just turned 25 this week and we're leaving for France in a couple weeks! She could pass for 16 though! Good luck finding out more info on this.

A couple links on the topic below. Sounds like the Prez hasn't followed up yet on the specifics.

The first says "free admission to all", but the second link says "free admission to French under 25."

Can't help with the monuments, but here is an official list of the museums operated by (or in cooperation with) the French Ministry of Culture.

Looks like the list corresponds pretty closely to the museums and monuments covered by the Paris Museum Pass... although I don't see the Arc de Triomphe or the tower of Notre Dame anywhere.

Thanks Mark!

This appears to be a list for the monuments:

Exciting if all these do end up being free to tourists under 25 come April!
