Please note: the Louvre’s ticketing platform for tourism professionals is now available. Therefore, to make new bookings, you will need to request the creation of a new professional account. How to proceed

Figure out what you want to see and which entrance you should use to access the museum. On the day of your visit, go to the group entrance with your reservation and one ticket per group member.

You will then need to check in at the group reception area under the Pyramid with your reservation in order to gain group visit access and the right to speak publicly. A cloakroom and restrooms are available.

To ensure that everyone enjoys a comfortable visit, museum guides and their guests must use their own headphones. Without this equipment, groups cannot be admitted to the museum.

At the end of the visit, which lasts a maximum of 3 hours, the whole group must leave the museum. It is strictly forbidden to continue the visit individually.

In order to be granted permission to speak publicly in the museum, tour guides must hold a professional card. As the reservation fee covers the right to speak publicly, once arrangements have been made tour guides may take the group around the museum at the booked time slot.
