09:00 to 18:00 (Wed - Mon)Step into one of Paris’s most enchanting art experiences at the Musée de l'Orangerie, where Claude Monet’s monumental Water Lilies take center stage.
Housed in two serene oval rooms bathed in natural light, these eight panoramic masterpieces—each stretching six meters wide—immerse you in the artist’s vision of peace and reflection, a gift to the French people after World War I.
But the wonder doesn’t end with Monet. This beautifully restored 19th-century orangerie, nestled in the Tuileries Garden, offers a more intimate alternative to the Louvre. Wander through flowing gallery spaces that evoke calm, and discover works by Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Renoir, and Rousseau—giants of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
Fans of cinema may even recognize the Water Lilies room from Midnight in Paris, adding a layer of magic to an already spellbinding visit.
Whether you’re an art connoisseur or simply seeking a moment of quiet beauty, the Musée de l'Orangerie invites you to linger, look, and lose yourself in light and color.
