This
place
is
one
of
the
most
popular
sightseeing
spots
in
Paris.
Thus
I
definitely
recommend
to
buy
tickets
with
time
slot
booking
via
internet.
However,
even
with
time-booked
tickets,
you
still
have
to
wait
in
line
(queue)
for
30-60
minutes
because
there
are
several
significant
defects
in
the
way
they
operate.
1.
First
of
all,
there
are
three
lines
(queues)
to
wait;
right,
middle
and
left.
-
Right
line
(road
side)
is
for
ticket
holders
with
“on
the
hour”
time
booking
such
as
11:00,
12:00,
13:00…..
-
Middle
line
for
time
booking
11:30,
12:30,
13:30…..
-
Left
line
(wall
side)
is
for
people
without
tickets.
The
biggest
problem
is
that
even
if
you
have
12:30
tickets
(for
example),
you
cannot
enter
at
12:30.
You
have
to
wait
probably
12:50-13:00
without
being
explained
anything.
2.
If
you
become
anxious
and
try
to
figure
out
what’s
going
on,
it
is
normal
to
ask
their
security
person
at
the
entrance.
However,
he
is
extremely
useless,
arrogant
and
unfriendly.
It
is
probably
not
fair
to
blame
only
him
because
all
the
other
staff
such
as
security
checkers,
ticket
officers,
gift
shop
clerks
are
the
same
as
if
they
all
completed
their
internal
training
of
“How
to
behave
NOT
nice
to
the
visitors”.
3.
Finally,
you
will
find
the
lines
(queues)
are
not
for
tickets
but
for
security
checks.
Once
you
go
through
the
security
checkpoints,
you
can
proceed
very
smoothly
without
stress
and
buy
tickets
easily.
The
fatal
mistake
is
they
don’t
check
the
time-booking
proof
before
security
checks.
In
the
extreme
case,
even
if
you
DON’T
have
tickets,
you
can
still
pretend
to
have
it
and
go
through
the
security
checkpoint
and
buy
a
ticket
later.
I
truly
wish
the
operator
of
this
wonderful
place
shall
be
replaced
by
someone
with
more
visitor
friendly
mindset
but
I
know
it
doesn’t
happen.
