The oval rooms with Monet....breathtaking. Wonderful surprise! More

We liked everything about the Musee de l'Orangerie. It's location is only the start- beautiful surroundings - a lovely walk. Be blown away by the presentation of Monet's Waterlilies! This is a gallery that feels comfortable rather than overwhelming- filled with a wonderful variety of art works. The giftshop offers many interesting things, too. More

Monet's Water Lilies are housed in grand fashion here. This is a Paris Museum Pass site. More

We visited L'Orangerie the day after Musee d'Orsay across the Seine. M d'O was really overwhelming - but L'Orangerie is simpler with a magnificent collection but small enough not to exhaust. Though both are must-dos in Paris. Paul Guillame's collection downstairs is an eclectic mix of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism plus, with Modigliani, Monet, Renoir, Utrillo, Rousseau, Verain and Picasso etc.... More

This is a gem of a museum. It has excellent audioguides for several pieces of art, and an array of stunning works on the lower floor. I spent all my time exploring these wonderful works, and actually forgot to go visit the famed wall murals portion with the water lilies! I would not leave Paris without visiting L'Orangerie. Next time... More
