Spend Where It Teaches

  • Audioguide/Guide if context helps you see more.
  • Timed Entry to avoid time loss in queues.
  • Orsay+Orangerie if Monet is a major interest.

Save Through Planning

  • Hydrate before; plan a single café stop.
  • Choose one book or print over multiple small trinkets.

Cost Priorities (Indicative)

Item Relative Weight Note
Base Ticket Core Entry to collection
Guide/Audioguide Medium Boosts attention
Pass/Combo Situational Only if visiting multiple sites
Souvenirs Low Aim for lasting learning value

Bottom Line
