Things to do in Musée d'Orsay

Completely different in style from the Louvre, it features many sculptures and design works, and even some Van Gogh paintings. The introduction explains how the interior design was transformed from a dilapidated train station into its unique present-day form, making it well worth appreciating.

If you only have time for one art museum in Paris, make it the Musée d'Orsay. world's finest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces. Standing inches away from iconic works by Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and Degas is an unforgettable experience.

we met the at a different entrance from the main one (glass pyramid). guide then escorted us through up to the hall for Mona Lisa before the guided group moved on. cafe availabler inside which provides great view of the museum courtyard from the balcony.

The tour was great. What we liked about this is that you are not limited on a timed entry, meaning you go anytime as long as its during the day of your booking and during opening hours. Be mindful that there is a queue upon arriving to the dock so allow around 30-40 mins time before you can actually board for your trip. We wanted to catch the 8pm glitter of the Eiffel tower so we arrived around 6:30, just enough to be boarded on the 7pm boat. The tour is an hour and the boat will give time to take pictures at the Eiffel tower side near the end part of the tour.

Good value for money. Great choice if you know that you'll be doing a lot of the popular Paris spots. Just be sure you check your museums' schedules beforehand since some of them have free entry days.

The tour guide brings you up to second level and let you visit the summit at your own. The pace and explaination was nice and detailed. if you didn’t follow closely, you won’t be able to hear as there’s no audio set provided.

It’s truly a one of a kind experience and a MUST do while in Paris! 🇫🇷✨ The food was great, tasted really good, and the portions were just right. Dining while cruising along the Seine, surrounded by the beauty of Paris, made the whole experience even more special. 🥂❤️ The only comment I would make is regarding the change of boarding dock. The location was changed without us being informed. Fortunately, we arrived early at the dock stated on our voucher and happened to notice a notice saying that the boat had been moved to a different dock. The new boarding point was about a 15 minute walk from the original location. Had we arrived at the recommended 15 minutes before departure, we would have most likely missed the cruise! Aside from that communication issue, it was a wonderful experience, great food, beautiful views, and an unforgettable evening in the City of Love. 🗼❤️🥂

It says you must meet 45 minutes in advance, but I think arriving 15 minutes before is totally fine! It is quite expensive so I was wondering if it would be worth it, but it was truly a wonderful experience and I am so glad I booked it✨️ Champagne, wine, and water were free to drink! For the menu, you choose an appetizer, main course, and dessert from three options each. I ordered the foie gras, sea bass, and cheesecake! I wonder if the menu changes depending on the day? I got pretty full! There is a photographer on board who takes pictures of you! They were great photos, but since they were for a fee (I feel like they were quite expensive), I decided not to buy them. The timing of the cruise was just right; the boat returned to the starting point right around when we finished dessert. I was also happy that we passed by the Eiffel Tower twice✨️
