What you can expect

Impressionist Icons: Orsay to Orangerie & Garden Walk in Paris - Orsay_and_Orangerie2.jpg

This experience is a dream for art lovers. Start at the world-renowned Musée d'Orsay, home to masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, and Renoir. Housed in a former Beaux-Arts train station, this museum offers not just beautiful artworks but stunning architecture and river views.

Then, enjoy a leisurely walk through the historic Jardin des Tuileries, once part of a royal palace. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the garden’s past, its sculptures, and how it became a public space after the French Revolution.

Your walk leads to the Musée de l'Orangerie, where Monet’s breathtaking Water Lilies span curved walls in peaceful oval rooms. Discover how this museum complements the Orsay — smaller, more intimate, but equally powerful.

This tour blends world-famous art with fresh air and historical insights — a perfect half day for lovers of Impressionism and Paris.
