What To Expect
Musee de l’Orangerie
You will discover one of Paris’s most intimate and rewarding museums, located at the edge of the Tuileries Garden. The Orangerie is world-famous for housing Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, displayed in two light-filled oval rooms designed according to the artist’s wishes to create a feeling of calm and immersion. Visitors can sit, walk, and take their time absorbing these monumental paintings, experiencing Monet’s vision of nature, light, and reflection in a uniquely peaceful setting. Beyond the Water Lilies, travelers explore an exceptional collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century art, featuring masterpieces by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, Rousseau, and Derain, offering a perfect overview of Impressionism and early Modern Art. After the visit, guests can enjoy a stroll through the nearby Tuileries Garden or continue toward Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, making the Orangerie an ideal cultural stop in the heart of Paris.

5.00Even with timed entry, there are large lines at the museum. Expect to wait at least 30 minutes as the lines go through security and entry processes. Make sure that you download the ticket with bar code to gain entry.
Viator did not refund when museum closed

1.00The Museum had to close for the day because of an technical difficulty and issued refunds. The Museum did email me which I appreciated. Viator has not been in touch with us , or issued a refund. I thought it was risky to book through them to begin with and now I suspect I was right. I usually book direct and suggest you avoid Viator and book directly with museums. Lesson learned for me!
If you love Monet, it is a must see when in Parid

5.00Claude Monet’s Water Lilies murals are a truly meditative experience. I could sit there for a long time moving from panel to panel. A reflection of the true beauty and stillness of nature. Definitely reserve a time slot. A very busy museum.
Very worthwhile a visit

5.00Definitely buy on line entrance tickets in advance as the queues grow very long outside. Really lovely to see the works of Monet and other key french artisits in a modest sized gallery. Well laid out exhibitions with plenty of info.
Skip the line is a must for Musée de L’Orangerie

5.00Must see in Paris if you love art museums. So intimate and the Monet installation is awesome. Definitely buy tix in advance, skip the line is a must otherwise you will literally wait for hours
Booking and visit without problems

5.00Very good because it allows to have a reservation if the official website of the museum is complete. On the other hand, the price is higher. Care should be taken to book a specific time of visit. If you take a ticket without specifying the time, you must go in the same line as people who do not have a ticket. This museum is very crowded, so favor visits before 10 a.m. Tickets are sent by email 24 hours before the start of the tour. Personally I received them even a little before.
