This is my favourite museum as there are no entrance line ups and you can view the paintings without fighiting the crowds. I love viewing the two circular rooms of Monet paintings. The lower level has many famous artists like Renoir, Cezanne, Sisley, etc. There are no crowds so this is my favourite museum in Paris. Please note: I am... More

This is a great museum in Paris, but it is easy to miss even though you will probably walk right past it. It is located in the Jardin des Tuileries which are the gardens in front of the Louvre.

Then later in the day watch "Midnight in Paris" and you can say "I was there"! Also there are comfortable chairs for a bit of a rest in... More

Too many marble stairs. There is no self help assistance; small spaces to wait in long lines at rest rooms are difficult for many.
