TRAVEL UPDATE · FRANCE · Checked 24 October 2026
The Louvre’s official website announces an exceptional closure on Saturday, 24 October 2026. It says reservations for that Saturday will be refunded automatically. The alert applies to this specific date; it should not be read as a continuing closure.
What visitors should check
The website also displays a generic opening-hours panel. For 24 October, use the specific dated closure alert rather than the general panel. The museum separately states that reservations are required from 17 October to 1 November 2026, subject to listed exemptions.
Adjust your day without rushing
Before travelling to another attraction, check its own official notices and ticket availability. A closure at one museum does not establish the status of nearby museums. Keep your original booking confirmation and check the museum’s refund instructions before purchasing replacement tickets.
