What makes this ticket different is the combination of guaranteed entry and a hassle-free start to your visit. Rather than queuing with everyone else, you walk straight into the Fondation Louis Vuitton and into its galleries of modern and contemporary art. The building itself is half the draw. Frank Gehry's design, twelve glass "sails" curving around a steel frame was conceived to give Paris a one-of-a-kind home for art and culture, and seeing it up close, with light pouring through the glass onto the galleries below, is something photos don't fully capture. Because access is capped each day, the galleries stay uncrowded, so you can move through the exhibitions and out onto the terraces at your own pace rather than being rushed along. For visitors who want their time in Paris to include serious contemporary art without losing half a morning to a queue, this ticket gets you in efficiently and leaves the rest of the visit entirely unhurried.
