Any way to buy the Paris Museum Pass here in US?

I don't feel like paying an additional fee to have them shipped here to the US.  Anyone know if I can get the passes here in NYC?

Re: Any way to buy the Paris Museum Pass here in US?

  • Not that I am aware of. I just purchased mine at the first museum I visited to avoid paying the shipping fee. I happened to purchase it at one of the less busy sights so  that I didn't have to wait in a huge line.
  • Last time I went I didn't get a museum pass, but I purchased Seine Cruise tix and Metro passes through Expedia and picked them up at a tourist office once I arrived.

  • Why don't you just buy it when you get there? We bought it at a metro stop near the Louvre. No lines and the same price as in the museum. It only takes a couple of minutes.

    This. We got ours at the Arc de Triomphe and I think there was only one person in line ahead of us.

  • Thanks for the info.

    I might also see if I can grab them at the airport when we arrive.

    If you arrive at Terminal 1 when you leave customs the tourist office selling them is literally right there....that's where we bought ours!

  • We bought ours at Sainte-Chapelle, could not have been any easier :-)

    This is what we did too.  There wasn't even a line.  Wait til you get there and just buy it at one of the less popular locations (e.g. don't wait in the long line for it at the Louvre) and it'll be no problem :)

  • We bought them at the tabac across from Sainte-Chapelle. No line.

    We stayed in ?le Saint-Louis so it was really convenient to stop there on our first day before touring Sainte-Chapelle, Notre Dame, and the Latin Quarter.

  • I have 2 adult passes for sale, never used and good through June 2012. My parents were going to join us on our trip but my mom broke her foot. PM me if interested.
