[quote=Anonymous]We went to Paris for spring break. We had timed tickets to most of the attractions we wanted. I do want give a warning...when we checked in to the Musee de Orsay, the man in front of us had 10:30 tickets when it was just past 11:00. He was told, you're late. Go to the main line. So be on time! Also, the Musee de Orsay was so crowded it was actually uncomfortable. The Impressionist rooms were mob scenes.

We couldn't get timed tickets to the Eiffel Tower and paid for tour tickets. It was more expensive but worth it in that our guide brought us through all off the lines to the elevator quickly. We scheduled those first thing in the morning. The Catacombs tickets sell out so I'd prioritize that as well if that's something you're into. We waited in line for Notre Dame and the line moved relatively quickly...we waited 30 minutes at around 4:00pm which wasn't too bad. It was crowded inside there as well...but 100% worth it.

When we were there, my H and I were talking about how it does suck you can't really be spontaneous anymore. We visited over 20 years ago and planned nothing in advance. A consequence of more crowds and travelers nowadays, I guess.[/quote]
