Please note that all public venues in France require visitors above the age of 12 years old to present a “Health Pass” and a valid ID, proving that you are fully vaccinated (with an EMA-approved vaccine), OR that you have been tested (PCR or antigen) with a negative result within the last 48hrs, OR that you have recovered from COVID-19, attested by a PCR or antigen test result, at least 15 days and no more than 6 months old.

Once you have collected your tickets and audio guide the fastest access will be from the entrance which is downstairs (basement) in the inverted Pyramid hall.

Your guide will be holding a Louvre Tour sign at the meeting point.
