It is worth it if you are an adult from outside the EU and plan to visit at least four paid sites in two days, or five or more over a longer trip. It is not worth it for under-18s or EU residents under 26, who already get in free at most of the included sites. The pass saves money and ticket queues, but it does not remove the need to book time slots at the busiest places.
The pass starts at your first visit and runs in consecutive hours, not calendar days. A 2-day pass first used on Wednesday at 3pm is valid until Friday at 3pm. Some sellers add service fees, so buy from the official website or official sales points. The pass website itself warns about fake sites charging inflated prices.
The official list has more than 50 museums and monuments in Paris and the surrounding region. The best-known include:
A few sites on the list are closed for works, including the Notre-Dame towers and Château de Chantilly, so check the list before you count them.
The Eiffel Tower is not on the official list of included sites, so you need a separate ticket for it. Do not count it when working out whether the pass pays off.
Yes, at several major sites. The pass replaces the ticket, not the reservation. Booking is free, but slots are limited and the pass website advises booking early for the Louvre and Versailles. Sites marked as needing a reservation include:
Sites not marked this way, such as the Arc de Triomphe, Panthéon and Centre Pompidou, can be visited with the pass alone.
Free visitors still need to make a free reservation at sites where time slots are mandatory.
Using single adult prices for visitors from outside the EU, checked on the official sites:
The first four come to €86 in low season and €92 in high season, just above the €85 two-day pass. Add Versailles and the total reaches €121 to €127, well above the €105 four-day pass.
For EU adults, the Louvre is €22 and Sainte-Chapelle €16, so the same four sites cost about €70. That is less than the two-day pass, so EU adults need a fuller schedule before it pays off. The official site's own guide says savings start from the 4th visit on the 2-day pass, the 5th on the 4-day pass and the 6th on the 6-day pass.
Count the paid sites you will actually visit, add up their single prices and compare. If you only want the Louvre and Orsay, buy single tickets. If you plan a full museum run plus Versailles, the pass usually saves money and spares you the ticket queues.
The constantXplorer Paris 3-day guide opens with a Book-before-you-go page that lists every timed-entry site with prices checked in October 2026, so you can count the paid visits before deciding on the pass.
