After fighting through the crowds of the Louvre, the Orangerie was a welcome sight (and a relaxing stroll through the Tuileries Garden). Positively tranquil in comparison, this museum boasts giant panels of Monet's "Water Lilies." Downstairs is a beautiful collection from other artists, including Renoir, Matisse and Picasso. If you're in Paris, you must spend an hour or two at... more

Almost spiritual and very calming if you want to get away from the frenetic tourism of Paris.Tucked away in the Jardin des Tuileries an hour or two will take you around this attraction.Well worth a visit. more

This is a very nice museum because it is on the smaller size, but still has many famous artists, including Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Matisse. It is in the Tuilleres Gardens and covered by a museum pass so it is worth a stop if you are there anyways. more

My wife and I really enjoyed this museum, the display of Monet's Water Lilies is worth the price of admission. This main exhibit in within two large ellipliptical shaped rooms on the first floor and here you are literally surrounded by his work. Sitting on the bench in the middle of the room is a great way to enjoy the... more

This museum is worth a stop. It was walking distance from my hotel so I was able to squeeze it in the morning before check-out. Bonus feature is Rodin sculpture in front. The advertised attraction is Monet's waterlilies and they are amazing, but the draw for me was the collection downstairs. Such a mixture! Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse and Modigliani.... more

Go up the ramp on the south side and make a left. They make you check in your backpack/bag (free). It is absolutely fantastic for monet lovers. His massive water lilies... more

This art museum is a great, quick escape for those visiting the Tuileries/Louvre/Place de Concorde area and is a must-see for those who appreciate Impressionist art. The whole museum can easily be explored in about an hour, unless you decide to linger in the spacious, tranquil, rounded rooms that house Monet's amazing Nymphéas paintings. The Nymphéas collection consists of his... more

I would agree with Idra. We visited this past April and it was rather uninspiring. I am a museum professional and unfortunately they take a rather mundane art museum approach to labeling the collection. It is not very creative. The way finding is awful and we completely missed the video. In fact, we did not know it existed until I... more
