Paris City Card at EUR 53,50 with the Arc de Triomphe rooftop and a Seine cruise

The card holds four things. Slot one is a choice of three: entry to the Pantheon, dedicated entrance at the Musee d'Orsay, or Eiffel Tower priority access to the second floor with an English guide. Slot two is the Arc de Triomphe with rooftop access, or the Palace of Versailles. Slot three is a Seine cruise, upgradable to a version with lunch. Slot four is an audio guide app, and a 10% code good for five bookings within a month comes with it. The listing shows 4.3 from 421 reviews.

Here is what matters: those three slot-one options cost very different amounts bought separately, while the card stays at EUR 53,50. Tiqets itself prints a "Normal ticket value" on its other bundle pages, and those pages give the Pantheon at EUR 13,00 and the Arc de Triomphe with rooftop at EUR 18,00. The Orsay's own page says "from EUR 13,00" but prices by date: EUR 17 on 2 September, EUR 13 on 3 September, EUR 17 again on 4 September. The Eiffel Tower option, second floor by lift with a live English guide, sells on its own from EUR 38,00. A Seine cruise on its own starts at EUR 20,00. Not one of those figures appears on the city card's own page.

So the sum is short. Take the standalone price of the slot-one option you would actually choose, add 18,00, add the cruise you would choose, and subtract 53,50. The Pantheon route is 13 plus 18 plus 20, which is EUR 51,00, so the card costs EUR 2,50 more than buying the same three. The Eiffel Tower route is 38 plus 18 plus 20, which is EUR 76,00, and the card saves EUR 22,50. The Orsay route in the middle depends on which day you go. Tiqets treats EUR 67,50 as the list price, while the three tickets at its own stated values come to EUR 51,00; the EUR 16,50 gap is the audio guide app, which Tiqets does not sell separately, so that part is one you cannot price-check yourself.Source 1

• Checkout shows EUR 67,50 less a flat EUR 14,00 discount for EUR 53,50, marked non-refundable.
• Only a Regular tier exists; there is no youth, child or senior price.
• The start date you choose applies to the audio guide app, not to the three attraction visits.
• Checked for Sunday 20 September: the Arc de Triomphe had no slot that day while the other two did, so the three parts may not fit one day.
• The Pantheon opens at noon on Mondays and at 10:00 on other days, closing at 18:30.
• The Arc de Triomphe runs to 23:00 on Wednesday and Monday but does not open until 11:00 on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Hokimi tip: open the three things you would actually pick on Tiqets, note each price, and compare the total against EUR 53,50 once. That subtraction works against us, and it is still the only honest way to buy this card.
