Paris Museum Pass for 7 Days: How to Make a Week Work
There’s no 7-day pass — the longest is 6 consecutive days (€139) — so for a week in Paris, buy the 6-day pass and keep one day pass-free, or pair a shorter pass with individual tickets. With seven days you can see the major museums, take château day trips, and still rest. Here’s how to plan a week around the pass.
There’s no 7-day pass
The pass comes in 2, 4 and 6-day versions only. For a seven-day trip, the cleanest option is the 6-day pass, used across six consecutive days, with one day left pass-free for the Eiffel Tower, a cruise, shopping or simply resting. That one uncovered day costs you nothing in lost pass value.
Option 1: the 6-day pass plus a free day
Buy the 6-day pass (€139) and plan a single non-museum day within your week — perfect for the attractions the pass doesn’t cover or a slower pace. Over six pass days you can comfortably see the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, a château and a dozen more sites, far exceeding the price.
Option 2: a shorter pass plus tickets
If your week is more relaxed, with museums on only some days, a 4-day pass (€109) used on your busiest stretch plus individual tickets for a couple of extra sights can work out cheaper. Match the approach to how museum-heavy your seven days really are.
A sample 7-day plan
- Day 1: Louvre and Orangerie.
- Day 2: Orsay and Rodin.
- Day 3: Versailles (day trip).
- Day 4: Sainte-Chapelle, Conciergerie, Panthéon and Cluny.
- Day 5: Arc de Triomphe, Les Invalides and the Picasso Museum.
- Day 6: a château — Fontainebleau or Chantilly.
- Day 7 (pass-free): the Eiffel Tower, a Seine cruise and relaxation.
Spread out the big days
Across a week, avoid back-to-back marathons. Alternate time-hungry giants like the Louvre and Versailles with lighter days of smaller museums and monuments, and place your château day trips so you’re not travelling far two days running. The 6-day pass gives you the room to pace yourself comfortably.
Use the free day wisely
Your pass-free day is the natural slot for everything the pass excludes: the Eiffel Tower, a Seine cruise, the Catacombs, or simply a relaxed wander through Montmartre or the Marais. Booking the Eiffel Tower and cruise separately for that day keeps your six pass days focused on included sites.
Book reservations across your pass days
Reserve the free timed slots for the Louvre, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, the Orangerie and (from March 2026) the Orsay, spreading them across your six pass days. Booking early secures your preferred times and lets you build a smooth, well-paced week around them.
Don’t forget transport for the week
Over seven days you’ll cover a lot of ground, and the pass includes none of it. Consider a Navigo Easy card or a stock of metro tickets for getting around the city, and buy the specific RER or SNCF train tickets for your château day trips — RER C for Versailles, mainline trains for Fontainebleau and Chantilly. Budgeting transport alongside your pass keeps the whole week running smoothly.
