Paris Pass with over 90 Top Attractions including Notre Dame Tour

Paris becomes expensive one ticket at a time, so this pass takes a bold approach: pay once, then use more than 90 attractions across two to six days. The list reaches well beyond the Louvre and Notre Dame, with a Seine cruise, Montmartre walks, French food tastings, Versailles, and even Parc Astérix outside the city.

I like two things here. First, the mix is unusually broad: you can pair major museums with a croissant breakfast, wine tasting, or a comedy show. Second, the included Paris Museum Pass gives the package real weight, especially if you plan ahead for the Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, Versailles, and the Arc de Triomphe.

The catch is simple but serious: popular attractions require reservations, and availability can vanish before your visit. At $215.54 per person, this is not a good pass for a slow Paris holiday, and its non-refundable terms make careful planning essential.

Key points before you buy

• More than 90 choices: The pass covers museums, viewpoints, tours, tastings, shows, and family attractions.
• The Paris Museum Pass matters: It covers major sights such as the Louvre, Versailles, Musée d’Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Panthéon.
• Reservations are essential: The Louvre, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, Montmartre walk, Saint-Germain walk, and some guided experiences need advance booking.
• The Notre Dame experience is not cathedral admission: It includes an exterior tour and access to the archaeological crypt. Entrance to the cathedral itself is free and separate.
• A one-day Big Bus ticket is included: This can help you get an overview of Paris, but it does not replace the city’s Metro or other transport.
• Best for active planners: You need to visit several paid attractions each day to make the $215.54 price work.

What the Paris Pass really gives you

This is an all-inclusive Go City pass delivered as a mobile ticket through the Go City app. You choose a validity period of two, three, four, five, or six days, then use the pass at included attractions during that window.

The pass is offered in English, and the app provides attraction information and itinerary help. That is useful in a city where opening days, reservation rules, and locations can complicate even a carefully planned schedule.

The attraction count sounds impressive, but do not treat 90-plus as a promise that you can see 90 places. Many stops take an hour or more, and several are far apart. Some are also food offers or short activities rather than full sightseeing stops.

The real value comes from building a sensible day. For example, you could visit the Louvre in the morning, take a Seine cruise, and finish at the Arc de Triomphe. Another day could combine Saint-Germain, a breakfast at Café Louise, the Musée d’Orsay, and a wine tasting at Les Caves du Louvre.

Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Paris’s major museums

The Louvre is the headline attraction, and the pass includes admission through the Paris Museum Pass. Allow about three hours, though the museum can easily take much longer. You must arrange an advance time slot and download the museum pass as instructed in the Go City app or digital guide.

This reservation requirement is the most important practical point in the entire package. Buying the pass does not guarantee a Louvre time. Check availability before your trip if the Louvre is a priority.

The Musée d’Orsay offers a more manageable museum visit at about two hours. Its setting in a former railway station gives the visit a memorable sense of place, and it is a natural match with the Seine cruise because both sit along the river.

The Centre Pompidou, Picasso Museum, Panthéon, and Musée Grévin add variety. The Centre Pompidou combines modern art with a building that is part of the attraction. The Picasso Museum focuses on the artist’s personal collection, while the Panthéon connects art and architecture with the burial place of notable French intellectuals.

Sainte-Chapelle is another priority stop. Its Gothic interior is one of the most visually striking places on the pass, but it requires advance booking. Put it on your schedule early rather than hoping to fit it in at the last minute.

The Arc de Triomphe gives you a different kind of museum-pass experience. The reward is the 360-degree view from the top, with Paris spreading out along the grand avenues. Plan about an hour, and remember that this is a climb to a viewpoint, not a quick street-level photo stop.

Notre Dame, the crypt, and what is actually included

The Notre Dame experience combines a one-hour expert-led tour outside the cathedral with a self-guided visit to the archaeological crypt. Allow about two hours in total.

This is a useful way to understand the cathedral’s recent story, including the damage caused by the 2019 fire and the work of rebirth and remembrance that followed. The focus is not simply on taking a picture in front of Notre Dame.

Be precise about the ticket. Entrance to Notre Dame Cathedral is free and open to all, and the services offered through the pass are separate from access to the interior. You are paying for the guided exterior experience and crypt visit, not a special pass into the cathedral.

One highly praised part of the package is this Notre Dame tour. A guide named Sophia was singled out for an excellent tour, so if this experience is important to you, reserve it early and allow enough time to reach the meeting point.

Seine cruise, Big Bus, and city views

The one-hour Bateaux Parisiens cruise begins near the Eiffel Tower and travels toward Notre Dame. From the river, you see the Musée d’Orsay, Eiffel Tower, and cathedral from a calmer angle than you get on the streets.

I would use the cruise near the beginning of your visit. It helps you understand how central Paris fits together, and it gives your feet a break after a museum morning.

The one-day Big Bus Paris hop-on hop-off tour includes nine key stops. It is useful for first impressions and for reaching several major sights without planning every turn yourself. Still, the pass does not include general transportation to and from attractions, so you will need to budget for Metro, bus, or other transport when the Big Bus is not suitable.

For another view, head to Tour Montparnasse. The observation deck on the 56th floor gives you a broad panorama of Paris, including the city’s most famous landmarks. The visit takes about an hour, and the viewpoint has one major advantage: you can see Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the picture.

FlyView offers a short virtual reality flight over Paris. The experience lasts about 20 minutes and works best as a quick add-on between larger visits, not as a main activity.

Food stops that make the pass feel more personal

The food inclusions are one of the package’s more appealing features. They are not full restaurant meals, but they add small tastes of everyday Paris to a schedule otherwise dominated by museums.

At Café Louise in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the included breakfast features a croissant, baguette, coffee, fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Allow about an hour. It is a practical morning stop before exploring the neighborhood or walking toward the Musée d’Orsay.

At Au Cadet de Gascogne in Montmartre, the Champagne Gourmand pairs sweet pastries with a glass of Champagne. At Au Vieux Châtelet, you get a croque monsieur and Champagne cocktail by the Seine, with about two hours set aside for the visit.

You can also choose a traditional French crepe at Le Bistro Marbeuf. At La Mère Catherine in Montmartre, the included morning treat is macarons, available until midday. Watch the timing here, since this is not an all-day option.

The pass also includes a cheese tasting at Ô Chateau. You sample French cheeses and learn about how they are made and how their characteristics differ. Les Caves du Louvre offers three French wines, either on an English guided tour or through a self-guided option in eight languages.

The English wine tour is popular and fills quickly. Reserve ahead if having a guided tasting matters to you. These food stops are especially useful for a first visit because they turn familiar French specialties into planned experiences rather than expensive afterthoughts.

Montmartre and Saint-Germain on foot

The Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur walking tour lasts about 90 minutes and requires a reservation. It introduces the neighborhood through its artists, studios, streets, and cultural past, with names such as Monet, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, and Van Gogh connected to the area.

This tour gives structure to a district that can otherwise feel like a maze of stairways and crowded viewpoints. Leave room afterward to continue on your own, since the pass activity itself is only part of a Montmartre visit.

The Saint-Germain-des-Prés walking tour also lasts about 90 minutes and needs advance reservation. Its focus is on old streets, cobbled passageways, local life, and the character of one of Paris’s best-known neighborhoods.

These walks are a good counterweight to the large museums. They help you see how Paris feels at street level, though their fixed times mean you need to plan meals and museum entries around them.

Versailles, Parc Astérix, and trips beyond central Paris

The Palace of Versailles is included through the Paris Museum Pass and takes about three hours. Advance booking is required. The palace and gardens are outside central Paris, so do not try to squeeze Versailles between several central attractions.

Versailles can make the pass worthwhile because it is a major admission on its own, but the day also brings transport time. The pass does not generally include transportation to and from attractions, so check your route and allow more than the three-hour visit time.

Parc Astérix offers a very different day. Based on the Astérix comic series, the park provides rides and themed entertainment outside the city. The listed visit time is about three hours, though transport and the park’s scale may require more of your day.

France Miniature is another out-of-town choice. It presents miniature versions of places across France and takes about four hours. Note that it appears twice among the available options, but it is the same attraction, not two separate inclusions.

These destinations suit families or anyone planning a longer Paris stay. They are poor choices if you have only two days and want to focus on central Paris.

Smaller attractions and evening entertainment

The Aquarium de Paris, also called CineAqua, takes about 90 minutes and includes France’s largest aquarium tank. It can work well with the Eiffel Tower area and the Seine cruise, depending on opening times and reservations.

The Paradox Museum offers optical and sensory exhibits designed to challenge your perception. It takes about 90 minutes and provides a lighter break after traditional museums.

Choco-Story Paris, the Gourmet Chocolate Museum, gives you a one-hour visit focused on French chocolate. The Grévin wax museum takes about 90 minutes and features wax figures of entertainers, artists, royals, and other famous people.

For an evening, How to Become Parisian in One Hour is a one-hour comedy show performed in English. It focuses on Parisian habits and customs, making it an easy choice if you want entertainment without a language barrier.

These options are not essential Paris sights, but they can rescue a rainy afternoon or fill a gap between timed reservations.

Is $215.54 a good value?

At $215.54 per person, the pass asks you to be intentional. You need to use several substantial inclusions, not simply enjoy one museum and a relaxed walk.

The best value pattern would include the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Seine cruise, Notre Dame experience, a major museum or viewpoint, and one or two tastings. Add Versailles or Parc Astérix if your schedule allows.

The weaker value pattern is a leisurely trip with one main sight each day. One purchaser calculated that paying individually would have cost less because many attractions were far apart and travel time reduced the number of visits possible.

I would also be cautious about counting every food stop as a full meal. Breakfast, crepes, macarons, Champagne, cheese, and wine are useful inclusions, but you will still pay for other meals and drinks.

The pass works best when you use an itinerary app, group nearby attractions, and reserve before arrival. It works poorly if you buy first and decide later.

Who should buy it?

Buy this pass if you want a busy two-to-six-day schedule, plan to visit several museums and monuments, enjoy organized tastings, and are comfortable navigating Paris transport.

It is especially suitable for first-time visitors who want a ready-made menu of choices. Families may like Parc Astérix, the aquarium, Paradox Museum, and France Miniature, while culture-focused visitors can concentrate on the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, Picasso Museum, and Versailles.

Skip it if you prefer long café stops, wandering without timed plans, or one major sight per day. Also skip it if you cannot secure the reservations you need before purchase. The pass is non-refundable and cannot be changed, so the safest approach is to check availability first, then buy only when your important attractions are open and bookable.
