Reviewers praise the art explanations and unhurried viewing; past Olympic closures made the museum hard to reach.

Situated in the beautifully manicured Tuileries Gardens, the Orangerie transformed into a museum in the early 20th century when Paris’s over-crowded museums needed new galleries. The Orangerie most famously houses the series of various waterlilies Monet granted to France thanks to his friendship with George Clemenceau, which earned their own private gallery space. The expansive collection of 19th century and early 20th century paintings features works by other famous Impressionists and those who came after. View Cezanne’s studies of fruits and flowers, seductive portraits by Matisse, and various phases of Picasso’s career through several nudes. Other artists including Modigliani, Renoir, and Utrillo, all make the Orangerie a must-visit for anyone who appreciates French art and the Impressionist movement.
2h · Admission includedOn this 2 hour semi-private (6 Guest Maximum) tour, your expert guide will lead you through history to explain why this unique, yet overlooked collection is one of the best in Paris. A former home for royal orange trees, the Orangerie today houses artwork by some of France’s most notable names.
