Pre purchased Louvre Passes by intercontinental
Entrance queues to the Louvre are legendary! Avoid this time-consuming nightmare by pre-purchasing your tickets. Australians can do so through French Travel Connection (www.frenchtravel.com.au). We ordered our passes through the website and paid by credit card. The passes (together with our Paris Visite metro passes) arrived promptly by courier, together with a book of discount vouchers for sights in the city.My husband laughed at my zealous prep work until he saw the insane queues snaking past the I.E.Pei pyramid! The passes allow immediate entry at the Passage Richelieu entrance (as indicated on the reverse of the ticket. It also comes with return Metro transport to the museum.
A little more expensive the purchasing at the door, but worth the splurge!
