Decisions that shape the visit

Choose your programme

The museum and exhibitions ticket includes the Dôme, collections, current temporary exhibition, Musée de l'Ordre de la Libération and Musée des Plans-Reliefs. Choose a main route.

Anticipate the constraint

The site is large. Identify entrances and the spaces you want; check free admission and welcome conditions for each visitor.

Continue at your own pace

Musée Rodin gives another perspective through sculpture. Use a separate slot to avoid rushing two museums.

Musée Rodin and garden — 7th · 2 h 30

Eiffel Tower — 7th · 2 to 3 h

Linked visits are alternatives or continuations, not a claim that all are adjacent.

What to look for on site

Decide which collection department interests you before entering, then reserve time for the Dôme. Included spaces do not all need to become compulsory stops.
