Museum/Major Attraction Tips. A compilation.

I am going to these museums and sites. Many are obviously posted here but I was thinking it might be nice to compile a quick reference.

Does anyone have tips for these things. Assume a the paris museum pass is already purchased.

Best day of week to go. Best time to visit. Don%26#39;t feel need to post on all, obviously. Thanks for help.

Rodin- see in nice weather to appreciate the gardens

Orsay- closed Mondays open late (and therefore less crowded Thursday night) start on the fifth floor for the major Impressionist%26#39;s works

Louvre- closed Tuesdays open late Wednesday and Friday

Orangerie- relatively small open late Fridays closed Tuesdays

Musee Carnavalet- free and apparently very interesting displays etc. Paris history

Picasso- closed Tuesdays

Sacre Coeur- open very late great views

Notre Dame- arrive eraly to ascend the towers see the web site for the mass schedule

Saint Chappelle- try to see stained glass in the daylight pass does not bypass line for security purposes

Versailles- great to have the pass- check the fountain schedule

This is not yet first hand knowledge- just information from research
