Full description

At the western end of the Tuileries Garden, the Musée de l’Orangerie was designed around one of art’s great immersive experiences: two oval rooms lined with Claude Monet’s monumental Water Lilies, lit by natural daylight as he intended. With a reserved entry time, you can head straight in and spend your time with the paintings.

Downstairs, the Walter-Guillaume collection brings together works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani and others. The audio guide gives you background on Monet’s final masterpiece and the collection, and at around two hours it’s an easy visit to pair with a walk through the Tuileries.
