Management said the Louvre would open "as normal" on Friday.
Staff first walked out in Monday, in a protest at what they say are deteriorating working conditions, which also affect the experience of visitors to the museum.
The strike - which saw the museum closed for most of the week - capped off a truly terrible year for the world's most-visited museum.
In October it was the victim of a robbery in which France's crown jewels, worth an estimated €88 million were stolen - a brazen heist which revealed embarrassing flaws in the museum's security.
Shortly afterwards it was forced to close one gallery after an audit revealed structural weaknesses in the ceiling, and then a water leak damaged hundreds of exhibits in the Egyptian wing.
Concerns had previously been raised about the state of the Louvre, with both unions and managers saying that it is over-crowded and poorly maintained.
At the start of the year Emmanuel Macron announced a massive revamp of the museum - set to cost €800 million. The plans include creating a separate area for the Mona Lisa to draw the crowds away from the rest of the museum.
However it is unclear at present how the ambitious refurbishment will be funded.
From January, the Louvre has announced that it will charge higher ticket prices to non-EU visitors - €32 per ticket as opposed to the standard €22 ticket. Non EU citizens resident in an EU country, however, can show a residency card in order to obtain the EU rate.
