PlanningTravel note
Big museums take different days off
Louvre Museum, Paris, Île-de-France
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The Louvre closes on Tuesdays, while the Musée d'Orsay closes on Mondays. A short trip that leaves both for the start of the week can lose one of them entirely.
The lesson
Check each museum's closing day before you fix the order of your days.
Advice for future travellers
Timed tickets booked online usually mean a much shorter wait at the entrance.
