ARTICLE 4 – RATES

The prices of the Tickets are stated in euros, net of tax. Only the full-rate Tickets and concessions are offered in online sales. A Visitor who is entitled to free entry should go straight to the entry controls, with their relevant supporting documents.

The rates that apply are those in force on the day when the order is placed. The EPMOO reserves the right to modify prices at any time.

Rates, conditions for reduced rates and exemptions from entry fees can be read at the following address: https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/visit/admission/admission-fees or https://www.musee-orangerie.fr/en/article/rates-and-ticket-office.

A Visitor who is entitled to a reduced rate or to free entry should show, at the entry controls, their pass granting them access to the services, as well as the relevant supporting document, which should still be valid, name-based and include a photograph. In the event of the supporting document not being shown or not being compliant, the Visitor will be refused access to the service.

By purchasing a full-rate Ticket, the Buyer relinquishes any reduced rate or free entry to which they may have been entitled for their visit.

 

 

ARTICLE 5 – MEANS OF PAYMENT

 

All orders are payable in euros, whatever their origin.

Payment for Tickets is made by bank card. Cards accepted for paying for an order at the online ticket office are cards from the networks Carte Bleue, Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard and American Express. The Buyer’s bank account is debited when the order is finally confirmed.

The EPMOO uses a secure online payment module certified by international authorities that is incorporated into the sales and bookings solution.

 

ARTICLE 6 – CONDITIONS OF USE OF TICKETS

6.1 A Ticket can be printed when an e-mail is received confirming the order stated in Article X and can be downloaded via a hypertext link provided in said e-mail. The Buyer should have printed the Ticket prior to their visit, without any changes made to the printing size, which should be a full page of white A4 paper that is blank on both sides. In no cases is it possible to print the Ticket on site. Tickets downloaded on a mobile telephone are also accepted. A ticket corresponds to each service paid for. Tickets that are partly or poorly printed, or that are damaged or illegible, are invalid.

It is strictly forbidden to duplicate or forge a Ticket in any way.

6.2 Tickets are marked with a time and date, and are valid exclusively for the service, at the date stated and from the time stated. Tickets grant access to the Musée d'Orsay via entrance A or C or to the Musée de l’Orangerie within the half-hour of the time stated. In the event of lateness beyond this timeslot for access, the Ticket remains valid for the same day. A Ticket grants access only once to the service to which it corresponds and any exit is definitive.

6.3 Each Ticket purchased online is personal and non-transferable. The first person to show the Ticket is presumed to be its legitimate holder. Any person who arrives later with a copy of the Ticket shall be refused access to the service. 

6.4 Access to the service is subject to a check of the Ticket's validity. The Ticket includes a barcode and is checked and registered using barcode-scanners by the control officers. The Visitor must keep their Ticket for the entire duration of the service.

The EPMOO shall not be held responsible for any loss or theft or use of copies, including inside the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée de l’Orangerie.

If the postponement is not possible, the Buyer may receive reimbursement of the Ticket price. They should send a request within three (3) months from the date of cancellation or modification of the service, showing the valid Ticket and their bank account details or bank card number with its expiry date, excluding all other compensation or damages, by e-mail or by post to the following address:
