Head to the main entrance at 5 rue de Thorigny in the Marais district. Look for the dedicated 'ticket holder' queue to bypass the box office line. Note that 'priority' or 'skip-the-line' status only applies to the admission gate; all visitors must still clear the mandatory security screening at the courtyard entrance. For the smoothest experience, arrive 15 minutes before your time slot and avoid bringing large bags or suitcases, as there are no storage facilities for bulky items inside the historic Hôtel Salé galleries.
The official benchmark for a full-price adult ticket is €16, which matches the standard partner rates shown for May 2026. While third-party platforms like Tiqets and GetYourGuide often maintain this base price, they may add small service fees or bundle the entry with extras like river cruises or digital guides. Visitors under 18, EU residents under 26, and disabled guests (with one companion) qualify for free admission, though they should verify if a free timed-entry reservation is required on the official site before arrival.
Admission is free for all visitors under 18 and for European Economic Area (EEA) residents aged 18–25 with valid ID. Other free-entry categories include disabled visitors with one companion, French jobseekers, and ICOM/ICOMOS members. For these groups, it is highly recommended to book a free timed-entry reservation on the official website to guarantee entry during peak hours. A reduced rate (approximately €12) is available for adults accompanying at least one child or for 'Large Family' cardholders. The museum is free for everyone on the first Sunday of each month. Note that the museum is closed on Mondays, May 1st, January 1st, and December 25th. All visitors must undergo mandatory security screening; large bags and suitcases are prohibited as there are no on-site lockers for bulky items.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
