You may want to subscribe to the "Secrets of Paris Newsletter", if you don't already receive it. Heather Stimmler-Hall, the author, mentioned the new museum pass in her recent newsletter. She lives in Paris, so may be aware if the old passes will still be valid. Like you, though, I would wait until I arrived in Paris to purchase one. You'll be sure to get a current one, and it's so easy to do, not to mention less expensive. http://tinyurl.com/7p7rl
