If you are in France on a Wednesday or Friday, visit the museum after 6 p.m. The cost of entering the museum is reduced by €3, from €9 to €6. On Wednesday and Friday, the museum is open until 9:45 p.m., which gives you plenty of time to wander around. As part of Bastille Day celebration, admission to the museum is free. It is also free on the first Sunday of every month.

Buy your tickets in advance to avoid long waits in line. Another way to avoid a wait in line is to go during the off-season. If you visit France in the non-peak season, you will not only get shorter waits, you will also enjoy cheaper prices for lodging, attractions, and more.

The Louvre is massive. It could weeks to see everything they possess. In order to cut down the confusion, choose the pieces you wish to see and check in advance which galleries you will need to visit.
