Notice to art lovers: as of June 2, several museums and monuments will be able to reopen their doors. It will take a little more patience for the largest museums such as the Louvre or the Mucem in Marseille, but the Palace of Versailles will for example be accessible from June 6. Europe 1 takes stock. 

That's it ! After the Prime Minister's announcement on Thursday, which specified that all museums and monuments could reopen on June 2 everywhere in France, we know the precise list of those who will reopen on June 2, or in the coming weeks. This reopening will be spread over a month and a half: it will be on July 6, not before, for the Louvre museum, which will probably not be able to welcome more than 30% of its usual visitors, with as everywhere online booking , wearing a mandatory mask, reduction of gauge and marked routes.

Versailles and Chambord in early June

On June 3, however, will reopen the Louvre Lens, and on June 2 the Marmottan Monet museum. The Palace of Versailles will be able to reopen from June 6, and Chambord from June 5, with a sense for the ascent, a sense for the descent in the central staircase, as was the case in the past. On June 9, it will be the Quai Branly Jacques Chirac museum's turn to be accessible to the public again.

The Grand Palais and the Louvre in July

Also in Paris, reopening scheduled for June 23 for the Musée d'Orsay, with separate entrances and exits to avoid any crossover, and June 22 for the Musée de l'Orangerie. The Grand Palais and the Center Pompidou will reopen on July 1, while the Mucem in Marseille will be June 29.
