Can anyone tell me if I can purchase Museum Passes for Paris in advance of our arrival? I'd like to purchase them online if I can.

The site is www.parisplus.com <BR> <BR>Having said this, I don't know anyone who's obtained their passes through them, therefore cannot vouch for their reliability. They also sell batobus passes, RER/Metro passes & Openbus passes. <BR> <BR>They seem ridiculously expensive, as opposed to buying them in Paris. <BR>BC

I used parisplus to buy TEN museum passes for a gaggle of girls, and was willing to pay the vig for the convenience; for just a couple or so, buy them in the metro stations or at any of the museums (usually in the gift shops)when you arrive.

I used ticketavenue.com for the museum passes. <BR> <BR>Supposedly they will be at my hotel when I arrive next week.

If, as most seem to indicate, it costs more to order museum passes in advance off the internet, why do it? Is there any danger of not being able to get them once you arrive in Paris?

There are a lot of places online that sell them, all seem to be about 15 pct+ markup, of course, as they are all for-profit agencies selling them. There is no reason at all to buy them ahead of time, there is no danger of not being able to buy one in Paris. I don't know why people do this, as the trouble of buying them online, paying, perhaps following up, perhaps not getting one, having to remember to pack it, etc, would seem to far far outweight whatever inconvenience one expects to find by buying one in Paris (which is like buying any ticket at a window, it takes a few minutes). But people have very different travel habits, it's interesting sometimes.

Betty- <BR> Very easy to get them in Paris at museums, larger metro stations, some hotels, the tourist office. Some people just like to have everything possible in advance. For more Paris information e-mail me – [email protected]
