Paris Metro Passes and Museum Passes redux
I am offering the following information based on my experience between
19-24 Feb of this year. Our hotel was out in the suburbs in the 13th eme at Place d'Italie. We used public transportation totally, except for back and forth to the airport. We used it a lot, primarily buses this trip so that we could sightsee. For the two of us for 4 1/2 days, we bought a total of 3 carnets and 2 individual tickets at a total cost of 32.60 Euros. It is hard to see how the Metro passes could beat that, but that is purely my opinion:} We did not get a museum pass this time as we only wanted to go to the Musee d'Orsay on this trip and the cost for that is 7.00 Euros. However, on a cold February Friday morning, we stood in line for over 30 minutes to get in while the people with passes walked straight in. Now I am fairly conservative with money, but I think that, for multiple museums, especially as the weather gets warmer and the crowds get larger, the museum passes would be worth their weight in gold just keeping you out of the lines. Just one man's opinion:} Gordon (the other Gordon) |

people with passes walked straight in ... the museum passes would be worth their weight in gold just keeping you out of the lines. We bought museum passes because Rick Steves recommended them and we were very glad we did. The passes definitely saved us some time at each museum we visited (especially at the Louvre), and time is a valuable commodity on a vacation.
