By subway: station 'Palais Royal/Musee du Louvre'
More original and as easy as the subway: By batobus: Stop at Louvre, Quai Francois Mitterrand
By car: Parking is accessible via the Avenue General Lemonier daily from 7AM to 11PM.
By bus: Bus 21,24,27,39,48,68,69,72,81,95; Bus 'Paris Open Tour': Stop in front of the pyramid.
It happens that the queue line outside the great pyramide is very long. In this case, coming throught the underground commercial center of the Louvre allows you to reach quickly & easily the automatic machines to buy the tickets to visit the museum.
