But I would take issue about your recommendation of the Paris Museum Pass. At 42€ for a 2-day pass it’s not going to be a bargain except for those willing to hit 4 or more major museums/attractions at high speed during those two days. To do so would not only be exhausting, it would be a shame to give so little attention to each.

The 4 and 6-day passes are cheaper per day….but to see the same four attractions at a one-a-day pace would cost significantly less than the 56€ for the 4-day.

People occasionally argue on line that it’s worth the price for skipping the lines…but nearly all the museums allow you to buy advance tickets online with skip privileges, albeit sometimes for an extra euro charge.
