Hey everyone! So, here’s a little ticket drama that might sound familiar: you get super excited about visiting the Louvre, snag your tickets for May 7th at 17:00, and then—boom—someone in your group accidentally books Eiffel Tower tickets for the same time. Yikes! Right?
After a bit of digging, it seems like there are no modifications allowed for either the Louvre or the Eiffel. Totally a bummer if you were hoping for an easy fix! Now, you’re thinking about buying new tickets for the Louvre to visit at 11:30 instead. But hold on, here’s where things get a bit murky.
From what I’ve found, it’s said that timed tickets for the Louvre can actually be scanned at any point during the day, as long as you come on your reserved date. The catch? You might just not be able to skip the line, which can be a real time-saver if you want to spend more time soaking in all that art instead of waiting.
I also discovered that from April 12 to May 12, reservations are indeed required—thankfully, that fits with your plans! Given that the timeframe of your Eiffel Tower booking is so close, the best bet might still be to buy a new ticket for the earlier time. It could save you a ton of stress and let you enjoy the Louvre without feeling rushed!
So to sum it up: You likely will need to get a new ticket to ensure you can enjoy your visit at 11:30. It’s always best to check for any updates directly on the Louvre’s website, just to confirm all those specifics before you make your move.
Happy museum exploring, everyone! Hope this helps clear up some of that ticket confusion for you, and here’s to making the most of your time in Paris!
