Fantastic 5.0
it was nice to explore one of world’s amazing museum, so much to learn about history. unfortunately islamic section was closed due to renovation. Entry was easy and smooth, its better to be on your selected slot , in case you can’t, they still let people in but from from another place

Completely different in style from the Louvre, it features many sculptures and design works, and even some Van Gogh paintings. The introduction explains how the interior design was transformed from a dilapidated train station into its unique present-day form, making it well worth appreciating.

We visited Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny a few days before coming to the museum, and it completely changed the experience for us. Being able to connect the scenery and atmosphere from Giverny to Monet’s paintings made the masterpieces feel even more extraordinary. Absolutely in awe. We were also very lucky to catch the special exhibition on Henri Rousseau — truly the cherry on top. One thing to note: Klook tickets only let you choose the date, not a specific entry time, so be prepared for an average wait of around 30–60 minutes outside.

I climbed it with my 60-year-old mother this year. We had a hotel nearby, so after watching the sunset over the Parisian cityscape, we saw the Champagne Flash from the Arc de Triomphe. Since it was summer, we went up a little after 9 PM and the Champagne Flash started at 10 PM. There were quite a few people waiting to see it from the Arc de Triomphe, so if you're aiming for the Champagne Flash, I recommend going up at least 30 minutes beforehand! The sunset was also incredibly beautiful! *The souvenir shop opened a little after 10 PM. Ease of booking with Klook: Excellent. Service: Excellent. We entered without any issues using the Klook QR code. The line to buy tickets on the day was very crowded, so I was really glad we bought them in advance. Experience: We also got to see the Parisian cityscape gradually light up!

I was so satisfied with the 4-day Museum Pass, allowing me to explore at my leisure! The thrill of entering with the pass without waiting in line! It was really convenient for me, as a 'P' (perceiver), to visit places not originally in my plan. I visited the Louvre (one-time entry only, reservation via official website), Orsay Museum (reservation via official website), Les Invalides (walk-in, Napoleon's tomb, surprisingly a lot to see), Pantheon (walk-in, has Foucault's Pendulum), Rodin Museum (walk-in, features Rodin's works plus Impressionist pieces), and Sainte-Chapelle + Conciergerie (can be booked as a set on the official website, small so you can see it quickly).

It says you must meet 45 minutes in advance, but I think arriving 15 minutes before is totally fine! It is quite expensive so I was wondering if it would be worth it, but it was truly a wonderful experience and I am so glad I booked it✨️ Champagne, wine, and water were free to drink! For the menu, you choose an appetizer, main course, and dessert from three options each. I ordered the foie gras, sea bass, and cheesecake! I wonder if the menu changes depending on the day? I got pretty full! There is a photographer on board who takes pictures of you! They were great photos, but since they were for a fee (I feel like they were quite expensive), I decided not to buy them. The timing of the cruise was just right; the boat returned to the starting point right around when we finished dessert. I was also happy that we passed by the Eiffel Tower twice✨️

BEST EUROPE EXPERIENCE EVER. It was the worthiest experience from all 8 countries we have been. The Paris photoshoot. Great value for money and would definitely do it again if I visit Paris again. Shout out to our Filipino photographer sir Joey T. He did not only made our photo magical, he taught us the right choreography on our poses. He will guide you in every pose. I am a creative and expert in photography but being the subject is different. Highly recommended to this when in Paris. Look for Joey to be assigned to you

I originally came to see the building because I heard it was renovated by Tadao Ando, but then I realized it was actually a museum. I frantically searched for tickets and luckily found them available on KLOOK. It was cheaper than buying directly from the official site or other sites, and tickets were available every 30 minutes. I was even able to buy a ticket for just 3 minutes later, which was great for spontaneous visits. The museum itself was very satisfying. The exhibits apparently change periodically; during Golden Week, there was an exhibition by a Romanian artist. As it's a contemporary art museum, tastes might vary, but I think everyone would be captivated by the skillful architectural design and overwhelming scale. I highly recommend it to those who appreciate architecture or contemporary art.
