Fantastic value for money and the museum was so beautiful and clean and very well organised, lunch was very nice too and we had a very enjoyable visit, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit

Cheaper than buying the ticket on their official website. Works like an ordinary day pass, highly recommended if you want to save some money on the entrance tickets.

It was amazing, prioritized access so no waiting in line. 50 museums in Paris for that price is great. Would recommend if you’re a fan of museums and photography
