For timed-ticket holders, the Louvre lists dedicated access at the Pyramid or Carrousel entrances. Entrance availability and access conditions can vary, so check the official entrance map before arrival. Porte des Lions is for visitors with admission tickets, closes at 6 p.m. with last entry at 5 p.m., and is closed on Tuesdays.
The official benchmark for June 2026 is €22 for all visitors. Partner prices (starting around €46–€79) are higher because they include booking fees, hosting services, or bundled access to sold-out time slots.
Free admission includes visitors under 18 of all nationalities and 18–25-year-olds who are EEA residents or citizens, subject to valid proof; additional categories also qualify. The Louvre advises free and reduced-admission visitors to reserve a time slot in advance to help secure entry, and ticket holders may be asked for photographic ID or supporting documents.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
