I managed to see the Louvre, Sainte Chapelle, the Orsay and took the river cruise from Friday afternoon to Saturday. Definitely a value for money! And the access is also easier to the attractions.

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

The museum is full of amazing art. Price is worth the money, you have 3-4 hours for sure what so see and admire. :)

Все было супер. Покупал на два дня. Быстро без очередей. Что хотел - то успел. Рекомендую!!!
