In Paris, young people can visit some monuments for free. This is also the case several free Parisian museums for children under 26 years old. So, most emblematic monuments of Paris can be visited free of charge by young people, such as the Arc de Triomphe or the Conciergerie for example. Unfortunately this is not the case for the Eiffel Tower!
The free entrance is valid both during the day and in the evening because some Parisian monuments make nocturnal.
The good news is that free monuments in Paris are not just for young people. Free admission is extended to all the 1st Sunday of each month for certain monuments such as the Pantheon and the towers of Notre-Dame for example. Finally, do not forget that the churches are beautiful and always free. Enjoy!

Hello, for information the 1st Sunday of the month are not free at the Conciergerie and the Sainte-Chapelle. We advise the public to consult the Internet sites of the monuments in order to know the conditions of access.
Hello,
You're absolutely right. There is no free entrance on Sundays, but both the Conciergerie and the Sainte-Chapelle are free of charge for children under 18 years of age.
