Not sure which ticket to choose?
All visitors, including those eligible for free entry (under 18s and EEA residents under 26), must secure a timed-entry reservation to access the Nymphéas rooms. While official tickets are the price benchmark, third-party platforms like Tiqets and GetYourGuide are essential for securing slots during the busy June season when official inventory often sells out weeks in advance.
Official morning slots are sold out for your preferred date.
GetYourGuide often maintains separate ticket allotments for high-demand morning windows.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: Enter via the Jardin des Tuileries at the Place de la Concorde gate. Look for Line A if you have a timed reservation, which is mandatory for all visitors, including Paris Museum Pass holders and those eligible for free entry. Even with 'priority' or 'guided' tickets, you must clear the mandatory Vigipirate security check, which can take 15–45 minutes during peak June hours; travelers with bags smaller than A4 paper typically experience shorter wait times. For the most serene view of Monet’s Water Lilies, book the 9:00 AM slot and head directly to the ground-floor oval rooms before tour groups arrive, or opt for Friday night 'Nocturne' slots after 6:00 PM when the museum stays open until 9:00 PM.
- Price: The official adult rate is €12.50, with discounted €10.00 tickets available for Friday evening visits (Nocturnes) after 6:00 PM. Partner prices typically range from €13.50 to €16.00; significantly higher rates usually indicate a guided tour or a combined pass with the Musée d'Orsay (official passport price is €22.00). All visitors, including those eligible for free entry, must secure a mandatory timed-entry reservation online.
- Discounts: Admission is free for visitors under 18 (all nationalities), EEA residents aged 18-25, and disabled visitors with one companion; however, these visitors MUST still book a mandatory free timed-entry reservation on the official website. Paris Museum Pass holders are also required to book a free time slot in advance. On the first Sunday of every month, entry is free for all visitors, but a pre-booked reservation is strictly required and usually reaches capacity weeks ahead. Always bring a valid ID or proof of entitlement, as eligibility is verified at the entrance alongside your timed-entry QR code.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a timed reservation if I have a Paris Museum Pass or qualify for free entry?
Yes, a mandatory timed-entry reservation is required for all visitors, including Paris Museum Pass holders and those eligible for free admission (such as under-18s and EEA residents under 26). You must book a specific time slot online in advance to guarantee entry.
Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?
No ticket allows you to skip security. All visitors must pass through the security screening at the entrance; however, having a timed-entry ticket allows you to use the dedicated 'Reserved' lane, which is significantly faster than the line for visitors without tickets.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?
The museum typically allows a 30-minute grace period for late arrivals. If you arrive more than 30 minutes past your slot during peak periods like June, entry is at the staff's discretion and may be refused if the galleries are at capacity.
Can I bring a large backpack or suitcase to the museum?
No. Only small bags not exceeding 55 x 35 x 20 cm are permitted inside. There are no luggage storage facilities or lockers for large suitcases, and items exceeding these dimensions will be refused at the security checkpoint.
Are tickets refundable if my travel plans change?
Official museum tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For better flexibility, consider booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide, which often offer a 24-hour cancellation policy for a slightly higher service fee.
Is it better to buy tickets from the official site or a partner seller?
The official site offers the lowest base price but sells out quickly and lacks flexibility. Partner sellers are better for last-minute bookings, English-language guided tours, or when you want the ability to cancel your visit for a refund.
What is the best strategy to see the Water Lilies without the crowds?
To experience Monet's Nymphéas in relative quiet, book the earliest 9:00 AM slot or visit during the final 90 minutes before closing. Avoid the free first Sunday of the month, as it is exceptionally crowded.
