Full description

This pairing works well for a relaxed afternoon. Start at the Orangerie in the Tuileries, where Monet’s Water Lilies fill two calm oval rooms, and continue downstairs to the modern masters of the Walter-Guillaume collection.

Then walk down to the Seine for a sightseeing cruise past the Louvre, the Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower. The cruise ticket is typically flexible, so you can sail right after the museum or save it for the evening.
