- Pay the group reservation fee: all groups (7 to 25 people maximum, including exempt visitors) must book a specific time and date for their visit and pay a group reservation fee (70 €).
- Purchase a "participants" ticket: this ticket allow for the admission of the whole group. Individual admission tickets cost €22 (click here for list of visitors eligible for free admission). The number of visitors may be changed, subject to availability, until the day prior to the visit.

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.

Groups of fewer than 7 people accompanied by an official guide can enjoy streamlined admission at the Passage Richelieu upon presentation of a valid tour guide card and a museum admission ticket for each visitor.

From 7 to 17 October and 18 to 28 November, small groups (of 7 visitors or fewer) will access the museum through the Pyramid entrance.

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.
