First to buy tix. And then to get in!!!!!

As I wrote above, we were at Versailles on saturday April 4, 2009. We were able to skip the ticket line (since we had the Paris museum pass) which appeared to be about an hour long mid-day. The second line took less than 2 minutes. Didn't even stretch out the 40' to the door.

Lucky you! Were the fountains going? Maybe the line was so bad the next weekend because the fountains had started???

hi all! kinda of new here. will be flying off to europe in a wk! XD

wanted to double confirm if anyone knows if the Paris museum pass allows me to get to all the sights in the Versailles?

many thanks! =)

According to the Paris Museum Pass official website, the pass covers the 17th century Chapel and Hall, the State Apartments of the King and Queen, the Apartments of Mesdames daughters of Louis XV, Apartments of the Prince Heir Apparent and Galleries of the 19th century History of France and the domain of Marie-Antoinette.

It does not cover audio guides, the tram, etc.

We are in Paris FRI MAY 1 to MAY 7. I see the Carte Musee (Paris Museum)lets us bipass the buy ticket line, but I wasn't clear if I purchase it ahead of time (from the website), it's good from the day I start using it or when I buy it.

We have an apt just two blocks east of the Lux gardens. It's less than 500 euro for 1 bd with full kitchen and laundry for the week. Sounds good. We are hoping it works out.
