Petit Palais works well as a manageable art stop during a central Paris walk. Take in the decorated facade, explore selected galleries and leave time for the garden courtyard when accessible.

What is free

The permanent collection is free. You do not need to buy a special-exhibition ticket to visit the free collection.

What is not included

Temporary exhibitions, selected activities and cafe purchases may be charged separately.

Before you go

Check the permanent collection's own hours; late openings for special exhibitions do not necessarily apply to all galleries.
