We went to all the big name museums in Paris, but this small museum tucked away next to the Place de la Concorde was my favourite. It is small, and the crowds that we encountered in all the other museums were non existent. The impressionist art here is amazing and you don't feel overwhelmed by the amount of it. The... more

This is a must see --- for the Waterlilies alone. You can get through this entire museum in about an hour. You may need more time if you want to linger in the Waterlilies rooms as I did. These are absolutely captivating. Read Rick Steve's Paris book about this museum beforem, during, and after your tour for the fullest understanding... more

In relation to all the huge museums here, you can easily walk through and enjoy this one. Especially if you are a fan of Impressionists. The main floor is large watercolor murals and the downstairs has other smaller and regular paintings. You can purchase an audio tour if you like. Very nice-don't miss! more

I recently returned from 10 days in London and Paris and although my son and I saw many amazing sites this smaller yet fantastic museum with the panorama of Monets Water Lillies was jaw dropping. I literally gasped at the magnificence and sheer size of these paintings. Not to be missed - more

We used our museum passes to check out this wonderful, little museum. The setting for the "Waterlillies" was perfect. It was not too crowded on a Wednesday afternoon in May 2007. The art displayed downstairs was also a treat to see. It was a great experience and should be right up there with Musee d'Orsay as a must see. more

We visited this museum on New Years Day - as it was one of the few museum open that day and on our 'must see' list this trip. Opening after and extensive remodel - the museum is breathtaking. The Monet water lillies are simply a must to see in the spaces new design using natural lighting. The remaining collection from... more

Arrived at about 1pm on a Monday afternoon in late October and waited outside for twenty or so minutes. Visitors who had pre-booked tickets on the internet did not have to queue at all. It was worth the wait as the waterlilies were stunning. more

The Orangerie is now open. Waterlilies panaroma were awesome! Great setting to see this work of art. The rest of the museum is great too. more
