City of Paris Fine Arts Museum
(Petit Palais and the Musée des Beaux-Arts)

The Petit Palais is an extraordinary gem. One of the standout pieces is Monet’s - Sunset on the Seine, a grand work that surpasses expectations in both scale and beauty. Experiencing it in person is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The gallery's masterful curation, blending classical masterpieces with contemporary works—such as the painting of a Parisian café which adds a fascinating dimension to the collection. The chandelier is another breathtaking feature, its elegance further enhancing the museum’s atmosphere. Although we didn’t book ahead, the waiting time was minimal, which was a pleasant surprise. It’s truly remarkable that such a remarkable experience is offered entirely free of charge. While we didn’t have the chance to dine at the restaurant, it would have been helpful to have a clearer idea of the menu. That said, the visit itself was an enriching and memorable experience, one I would highly recommend to any art lover.

Beautiful museum and a wonderful visit! Petit Palais is a fantastic place to explore, and it’s only a short walk from Pont Alexandre III. Admission is completely free, and they even have lockers inside where you can leave your coat and bags. The artwork is amazing – I loved seeing Monet and so many other incredible artists, and the blend of modern pieces with the classical ones was really interesting. The café was under refurbishment during our visit, so we didn’t get to try it, but overall I highly recommend this museum.

Beautiful venue. At the moment there's some reconstruction work in the garden. Entering is free of charge. A lot of great paints and sculptures. Beautiful gallery. Paintings of painter Bilal Hamdad are at the moment displayed at Petit palace. Also you can visit temporarily exhibition ant for that you must buy tickets (there's no rush and big lines so you can by them on the spot).

Loved this at museum! The building architecture is spectacular. It's free, they also have a Monet on display with some modern art as well. They have a mix of paintings, artifacts, and statues. Statues were lovely to see in beautiful light, and prices were nicely laid out so it didn't seem too overwhelming. Highly recommend!
