If you're going to the Louvre (9 Euro) and the d'Orsay (8 Euro), and have a penchant for at least one other museum (say the modern art at Centre Pompidou for 12 Euro) or even something like the Arc de Triomphe (you can go in and up top for 8 Euro), or the towers at Notre Dame (ditto) consider the museum pass. You break even at 3 museums and more importantly don't stand in line for tickets. Louvre in particular can be long and tourist season has begun. D'Orsay should be comparatively calm.
