Q: On a visit to Paris in July, I am keen to visit the top museums (the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay and the Pompidou) and would like to know how much it is likely to cost me in entrance fees. Are there any museums that offer free entry? - Jannie Human.
A: The entry fee to the Louvre is 9 Euros, the Musee d'Orsay costs 8 Euros and the Pompidou Centre will set you back 12 Euros. You can get into all three museums for free on the first Sunday of every month, but you will have to battle your way through big crowds. For a total cost of 29 Euros (around R340) in a city where a cup of coffee can cost you five euros, it makes sense to pay up for a better viewing experience. The good news is that there are at least 20 museums in the French capital that offer free entrance. These include the Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris (history of Paris), Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (modern art) and 11 avenue du Président Wilson. You can find a full list of free museums at www.parisinfo.com.
