How to enter Louvre Museum | Secret Louvre Entrance

[@AndrewPrior]

If you are coming to Paris and looking for some fabulous food recommendations then I've got the book for you. I've written a food guide called Paris: A Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City. You can get your copy now via Amazon a.co/d/7GrePXN or directly from my website www.andrewpriorfabulously.com/book-paris-a-food-guide-to-the-worlds-most-delicious-city It's not just a food guide but also includes three walking tours and some non-foodie tips as well. In the book, there are recommendations for restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, boulangeries, patisseries, fromageries and so much more. I hope you love it.

Used this secret entrance at the weekend - arriving at around 10:30am and it was great to just walk straight in there whilst everyone else stood in the cold morning chill above ground 🙂🥶

[@AndrewPrior]

Great, I'm glad it helped.

[@jianmao9593]

Andrew prior, u rock! Going to the louvre soon! Nice vids

[@AndrewPrior]

[@jianmao9593]

Just went there, cool place! Just a lot of people for the Mona Lisa...

[@AndrewPrior]

@@jianmao9593 glad you enjoyed it. The louvre that is. Yeah I know the new rules for visiting the Mona Lisa is making the crowds even more I hear. Hope it wasn't too bad for you.

[@jianmao9593]

Thx so much for the help!!!!!!!

[@randydraughon1460]

Greetings from Texas! Just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Taking my teens this November. Trying to get all the best tips I can. Thank you and God bless.

[@AndrewPrior]

That's great Randy. If you need any help or organising then please don't hesitate to ask.

[@randydraughon1460]

@@AndrewPrior wow. Very kind and generous sir. Can I send you an email friend? Hopefully you will be in Paris when we go. Lol. Would love to meet you. God bless.

[@samirdutta2536]

Dear Andrew, am your new subscriber. we are family of 4 planning to visit paris for 5 days with my daughter and mother. With this entrance guide i feel its a hidden gem - a few bloggers talked but didn’t show the actual entrance how to go - probably you are the first youtuber. Kudos to you One more point if we will go via that way what would be the closest metro station? Thank you once again

[@AndrewPrior]

Thanks so much and sorry for the late reply. Have you been already or still coming to France. The metro is Palais Royal-Musee du Louvre.

[@foundit1413]

hahah this actually feels ILLEGAL to know thanks. Update: I went to paris , to the louvre through carousel entrance. It truly did feel illegal hahaha. All these poor tourists waiting on the long lines when they can just come through the back😭😭

[@AndrewPrior]

Not illegal but just really good to know.

[@trufan100]

​@@AndrewPrior why is no one using this entrnace

[@samichloricacid]

I cried seeing that couple getting engaged

[@AndrewPrior]

I know, it was really touching.

[@mariembz5414]

Yes it s so touching

[@rudradas777]

Hello! Are there elevator/escalator access to all floors in louvre?.....since my mother cannot climb stairs.

[@AndrewPrior]

Bonjour, there certainly are. If you just check the website there is a location map for access of elevators and or escalators. Have a great visit.

[@Beny123]

Now the secret entrance will have a longer queue. Think game theory and take the main entrance. ;)

[@oskarheredia4638]

Duuuro calvito nice tip

[@AndrewPrior]

Thanks

[@samirdutta2536]

Dear Andrew - i think you need to create another important content how to get out from CDG airport to catch taxi.. i think one of the most searched topic across globe. Even a tons of questions i can see on paris travel forums but no one talked in detail. Am looking for the one. Please help

[@AndrewPrior]

Thanks Samir, that's a great idea. I will put that on the list.

[@didiervanleeuwen]

Is it true, that now with covid, you have to buy online in order to go through caroussel? Or can you still go through caroussel and then buy tickets? Asking because i go to paris in a few days 😃

[@AndrewPrior]

Bonjour, I'm not in Paris at the moment but from the website, at the moment that does seem to be the case. But things are changing all the time as you probably expect from the times we are in lately. So I would make sure you check when you arrive if that's still the same requirement.

[@jaredmacario4666]

i have a question. i’m from the USA and i want to pay the tickets in advance but i can’t because i have to pay in euros what do i do?

[@AndrewPrior]

Jade Macario bonjour and how exciting that you are coming to Paris. Hope you have a fab time and thanks for watching my videos. So for the Louvre I know it’s a hassle re the US credit cards etc sometimes not being accepted. But to be honest for the Louvre I wouldn’t worry about getting online as you can always get on the day. Also this is a good option as they don’t usually allow you to get a refund if you can’t make the day you buy them for. So I’d recommend heading off early on the day you want to go and buying there. Remember from my video the line is for security not the tickets. So if you take the short cut route I’ve recommended you should be able to get in with a maximum 15 minute wait and then maybe 10 minutes if that for the tickets. Tickets now are all sold via machine so they have more places to buy them there which is great. The machines accept all cards so it shouldn’t be a problem. Now if you are planning on going to Versailles or the Eiffel tour that’s another story. Message me at [e-mail] if you are planning on going to them and I will give you more info. À bientôt Andrew

[@jaredmacario4666]

Thank you SOOO much 💓

[@alanxwalkers684]

so it's not enter from the glass pyramid? but I saw the entrance from the photo

[@AndrewPrior]

Oui that's right, across the road from the pyramid is two entrances to go down to the carousel.

[@alanxwalkers684]

@@AndrewPrior now I know it, thanks cause I never been to there

[@lingxinru6777]

Which ticket are we suppose to buy?

[@AndrewPrior]

Depends on how old you are.

[@diggingmystyle]

You can walk in thru the pyramid without any waiting if you reserve a time slot.

[@AndrewPrior]

It's the security line that's the main wait when you go by the entrance upstairs. If you go through the entrance I've mentioned or through the metro station entrance then you go through a smaller line. Hope that helps.

[@derekhunt4282]

Gillian Anderson played Scully on X Files

[@AndrewPrior]

That's it

[@orlandobabe]

I bet you have already been asked this but how much were the tickets?

[@AndrewPrior]

They change over time of course but here's the link to check for the next time you visit. www.louvre.fr/en/visit/hours-admission

[@hadzherahmed5618]

How much did the ticket cost

[@AndrewPrior]

€17 online and then €15 in person on the day. Link is below for more up to date information. www.louvre.fr/en/visit/hours-admission

[@jake2355]

Why does ANYONE queue up by the pyramid if it’s much quicker to enter via the carrousel?? I don’t understand

[@AndrewPrior]

There are two queues one at the top at the pyramid and one below in the carrousel. Both are security checks but you only need to go through one or the other. Not many people know of the one downstairs and you only really go through it if you are entering from the metro station. So that's why its a smaller queue and better to go down and enter through. :)

[@jake2355]

Andrew Prior Sweet, man! You’re a star! I would’ve been waiting in that big queue like an absolute weapon if it weren’t for this video! I’ve got the full day in Paris on Saturday but there’s other stuff I wanna do so I don’t want to waste much time queuing 😂👍🏼

[@BAYAREAYOUTUBE]

You’re funny

[@AndrewPrior]

Merci you are too kind. Glad you enjoyed the video.
