Musée de l'Orangerie

I can’t put into words how incredible this museum was! I came specifically to see Monet’s work, and it truly blew me away — so serene and moving. Even if you’re not usually into art, I’d still highly recommend a visit. The atmosphere is calming, and there’s something for everyone. They even have a children’s activity area, which is a lovely touch for families, as well as a few other types of art exhibitions beyond Impressionism.

This was hands down my favorite museum in Paris. I didn’t even have to wait in line to get in—maybe I just got lucky, but it made the experience even better! The highlight was, without a doubt, Monet’s Water Lilies. Standing in those oval rooms surrounded by his massive, serene paintings was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere was calm, the layout beautifully curated, and the overall experience unforgettable. I 100% recommend visiting—especially if you appreciate impressionist art or just want a peaceful, inspiring break from the city buzz. If you are a student the museum is free.

Museum is quite smaller compared to the other big ones we’ve been to in the city. The Claude Monet exhibits are quite beautiful. The other exhibits were good but not overly as impressive in my opinion. As we all know though art is unique to each individual. There is an accessible elevator for people who need help with stairs. We found that really helpful. The cafeteria was nice. Coffee was good and prices were reasonable. Overall the museum was clean and easy to enjoy. Parking was easy to navigate across the square underground.

It was a rainy Sunday morning and what’s better to do in the rain than go to a great museum. The l’Orangerie’s website said they were sold out so I bought four tickets on Viator (spent ~25% more), but we arrived and there were two lines and we were pointed to line one and maybe waited 10 minutes before we went in. Line two was long. It was for people who didn’t have tickets. It was still long when we walked out an hour later. I recommend getting an audio guide from the museum for 5€. The Monet Water Lilly’s are on the ground floor and they are lovely to look at. The audio guide shares a lot of interesting information. Downstairs is an interesting art collection. Some pieces have you scratching your head, while others leave you agape. If you’re in Paris and appreciate art, you should visit the museum.
