Question Paris Museum Pass 1st Sunday question

I'm a believer in the Museum Pass, but our next trip to Paris (strike permitting) will be over the 1st Sunday of the month, when the major museums are all free.

Is there any benefit to having the pass on one of those Sundays? You can escape the ticket lines with a pass, but what if no ticket is required?

No benefit to have the pass on 1st Sundays. You'll just have to be on the same line with those who paid nothing. 1st Sundays are not really good time to visit museums although it's bearable.

It helps if you get there earlier in the day rather than later. Last fall I walked into the Musée Rodin just after opening time on a 1st Sunday with no wait and no line whatsoever.

Lines are likely to be longer at the more "popular" museums.
