How much does a non-EEA visitor pay at each Paris attraction?

The Eiffel Tower has a fourth way up: stairs to the 2nd floor and an elevator to the summit, for €28 in Nov 2026. These rates apply to visits through January 10, 2027; a new price list takes effect on January 11, 2027. To choose among the options and skip the line, see the guide to Eiffel Tower tickets and the tactics to avoid the Eiffel Tower line. The Louvre ticket guide details entries and time slots, and the guide to the Palace of Versailles shows what the Passeport includes.
What changed in 2026 for non-European visitors?
Since January 2026, five French institutions charge more to anyone who is not a citizen or resident of the EEA: the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, the Château de Chambord, the Sainte-Chapelle and the Opéra Garnier. The EEA is made up of the European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The Louvre went from €22 to €32 and the Sainte-Chapelle from €16 to €22 (Nov 2026).
In Nov 2026, Versailles keeps two seasons: the Passeport costs €25 from November to March for everyone, and from April to October it rises to €35 for non-EEA visitors (EEA visitors pay €32). The Louvre charges €32 all year. At the Opéra Garnier, the tour costs €25, versus €15 for EEA visitors.
The criterion is nationality or residence, not the country of your card. Anyone with a passport from an EEA country, such as Portugal or Italy, or who has lived in one for more than four months, pays the European rate and should bring the document. The Sainte-Chapelle checks nationality at the ticket office and, for online buyers, at the entrance; buying the wrong rate can mean paying the difference at the door.
The Arc de Triomphe, Panthéon, Orsay, Orangerie, Rodin and Catacombs had not joined as of Nov 2026: the price is the same for everyone. The Centre des Monuments Nationaux will assess the trial at the end of its first year, so the list may grow; check the price on the day you buy. To see it all in the context of your trip, how much a trip to Paris costs adds lodging, food and transport to what is here.
Under 18 and under 26: what applies to non-EEA visitors?
Visitors under 18 get into the Louvre, the Sainte-Chapelle, the Arc de Triomphe, Orsay and the Rodin Museum for free, whatever their nationality. The free entry for ages 18 to 25, by contrast, applies only to EEA citizens and residents; a 20-year-old non-EEA visitor pays the full €32 at the Louvre with no discount (Nov 2026).
Three rules prevent surprises. At the Panthéon, free entry applies to accompanied visitors under 16, so 16- and 17-year-olds pay. At the national monuments (Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe), the free band for ages 18 to 25 also covers foreigners legally resident in France, which does not describe a tourist. At the Opéra Garnier, a 13-to-25-year-old from outside the EEA pays €20 (Nov 2026); at the Eiffel Tower, ages 4 to 24 pay a reduced rate, regardless of country.
When can you get into Paris attractions for free?
Notre-Dame Cathedral is free every day, and the Louvre opens for free on the first Friday of the month, after 6 pm, except in July and August, for all visitors. The Notre-Dame towers, however, are paid (€16 in Nov 2026).
The first Sunday of the month is the most generous date and applies to all nationalities, but each place has its own rule: Orsay and Orangerie are free every month (at the Orangerie, with a mandatory booking); the Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe and Panthéon are free in January, February, March, November and December; Versailles, in the low season; the Rodin Museum, from October to March. The next dates are Friday, December 4, 2026 (Louvre, after 6 pm) and Sunday, December 6, 2026 (national monuments, Orsay and Orangerie).
The trade-off is lines and crowds. If you want to see the Mona Lisa in peace or the Sainte-Chapelle windows in silence, paying for a timed slot is usually worth more than saving €22 to €32 (Nov 2026). Booking details, time slots and the free first Sunday are covered in the Sainte-Chapelle guide.
Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it with the new prices?
The Paris Museum Pass costs €85 (2 days), €105 (4 days) or €125 (6 days) in Nov 2026 and gives access to more than 50 museums and monuments, including the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles and Rodin; with the new rates, it pays off more for non-EEA visitors than for Europeans, because the pass price is the same while the Louvre and the Sainte-Chapelle got more expensive.
| Combination (non-EEA visitor) | Sum of tickets | Pass | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 days: Louvre + Versailles + Orsay + Sainte-Chapelle | €95 (Versailles low season) to €105 (high season) (Nov 2026) | €85 (Nov 2026) | Saves €10 to €20 (Nov 2026) |
| 2 days: Louvre + Versailles + Orsay | €73 to €83 (Nov 2026) | €85 (Nov 2026) | Loses €2 to €12 (Nov 2026) |
| 4 days: Louvre, Versailles, Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe and Panthéon | €124 (low) to €134 (high) (Nov 2026) | €105 (Nov 2026) | Saves €19 to €29 (Nov 2026) |
| 4 days: Louvre, Versailles, Orsay and Sainte-Chapelle | €95 to €105 (Nov 2026) | €105 (Nov 2026) | Loses €10 or breaks even (Nov 2026) |
| 4 days with the same 6 sites, for an EEA visitor | €108 (low) (Nov 2026) | €105 (Nov 2026) | Breaks even |
The practical rule: the pass only wins when you enter at least four paid attractions, with the Louvre, Versailles and Sainte-Chapelle weighing the most. The Museum Pass does not cover the Eiffel Tower, Catacombs, Opéra Garnier, Seine cruises or Disneyland, and it does not replace the timed slot at the Louvre, Versailles, the Sainte-Chapelle and the Orangerie. Sales and rules: Paris Region, Nov 2026.
What does a 3-day Paris itinerary cost in tickets alone?
A lean three-day itinerary costs €80.50 to €90.50 in tickets for a non-EEA visitor in Nov 2026, and the full one reaches €190.50 in Versailles high season. The figures add up the Eiffel Tower 2nd floor by elevator (€23.50), the Louvre (€32) and Versailles (€25 in low season, €35 in high season).
| 3-day itinerary | Non-EEA visitor (Versailles low / high) | EEA visitor (low / high) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lean: Eiffel 2nd floor, Louvre, Versailles | €80.50 / €90.50 (Nov 2026) | €70.50 / €77.50 (Nov 2026) | €10 / €13 (Nov 2026) |
| Classic: lean + Sainte-Chapelle, Orsay and Seine cruise (€17) (Nov 2026) | €135.50 / €145.50 (Nov 2026) | €119.50 / €126.50 (Nov 2026) | €16 / €19 (Nov 2026) |
| Full: classic + Arc de Triomphe, Panthéon and Notre-Dame towers | €180.50 / €190.50 (Nov 2026) | €164.50 / €171.50 (Nov 2026) | €16 / €19 (Nov 2026) |
The totals use the Arc de Triomphe at €16 (the Oct-to-Mar rate) and do not include metro or food; for the rest of the budget, follow the 3-day Paris itinerary and the guide to the Paris transport pass. In Nov 2026, a non-EEA visitor pays €16 to €19 more than a European on an itinerary that includes the Louvre and the Sainte-Chapelle, and with the 4-day Museum Pass that extra cost disappears.
How to buy without overpaying?
Always buy on each attraction’s official website, choose the rate that matches your nationality and book your time slot before you leave home. Reseller sites promising a "fast line" copy the look of the official ones and charge a fee; the Orangerie itself warns visitors about mirror sites. If your slot sold out, a ticket with a guide is the alternative: see the option for an Eiffel Tower ticket with a timed slot or the catalog of tours in Paris.
Three mistakes cost a lot. The first is buying the European rate by mistake: the lower price shows up first and the check happens at the door. The second is leaving Versailles for July, when the non-EEA Passeport costs €10 more than in December (Nov 2026). The third is assuming the Museum Pass skips the line; it does not replace the time slot. Before you travel, also check the documents for traveling to France and your EEA passport, if you have one.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Louvre ticket for non-European visitors in 2026?
A Louvre ticket costs €32 for non-EEA visitors in Nov 2026, the price for anyone who is not a citizen or resident of the European Economic Area. EEA visitors pay €22, and visitors under 18 get in free, according to the museum’s official website.
Do non-European visitors pay more in Paris?
Yes, in Nov 2026, at four attractions: the Louvre (€32), the Palace of Versailles (€25 to €35), the Sainte-Chapelle (€22) and the Opéra Garnier (€25). At Orsay, Orangerie, the Arc de Triomphe, the Panthéon, Rodin and the Catacombs, the price is the same for all visitors.
Does someone with a European passport pay the European rate?
Yes. The criterion at attractions with differentiated rates is nationality or residence in a country of the European Economic Area. Anyone with an Italian or Portuguese passport pays the European rate, but must show the document at the entrance.
Do under-18s pay for tickets in Paris?
At most attractions, no. The Louvre, the Sainte-Chapelle, the Arc de Triomphe, Orsay and Rodin give free entry to visitors under 18 of any nationality. The exception is the Panthéon, which admits only accompanied visitors under 16 for free.
Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it for non-European visitors?
It is worth it with at least four paid attractions. The 4-day Paris Museum Pass costs €105 in Nov 2026; with the Louvre, Versailles, Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe and Panthéon, a non-EEA visitor would spend €124 to €134 without the pass. It does not replace the timed slot.
Conclusion
For non-European visitors, the Paris math changed in 2026: the Louvre, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle and the Opéra got more expensive, and everything else kept the price for everyone. If your itinerary has the Louvre, Versailles and Sainte-Chapelle plus two other paid attractions, buy the 4-day Museum Pass; if it has only the Eiffel Tower and one museum, buy individual tickets and save your money for the free-entry days. Once your tickets are sorted, build the full budget in how much a trip to Paris costs.
