Recommended times
During the week :
Access flows smoothly every day except Saturdays and Sundays: in this case we recommend that you arrive after 5pm to avoid queuing for too long.
At weekends, visitor entry is often suspended for what can be quite a long time, when all places are occupied.
During the year :
Access flows smoothly all year except in May and June (during the French exam revision time) and during the Christmas holidays.
