Access

Via the Pyramid

A central lift (the ‘tube’) will take you under the Pyramid to the reception area.

Via the Carrousel shopping centre

Access the Carrousel shopping centre from the car park or entrance at 99 rue de Rivoli.
To reach the reception area beneath the Pyramid, escalators and two lifts are available. Speak with the agents at the Carrousel entrance who will guide you toward the lifts. When you get to the underground shopping area, continue for 50 metres toward the inverted pyramid, where you will go through a security check before entering the museum.
