L'Orangerie is an outstanding museum! The Monet water lily paintings are absolutely gorgr! The trick is to get people to stop talking in the gallery and to move away from in front of the paintings! ☺️

Paris is without a doubt a wonderful city. From Montmarte, with its artistic alleys, to the Louvre Museum, to the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, every corner smells of art. Even the Orsay Museum located in the train station with paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, the glass roof and its precious clock, an iconic symbol of French art, are part of this spectacular city . Skipping the queue and entering at the chosen time embellished the visit.

The fast track tickets were wonderful to have! The Orsay was so very crowded that without them we would have been in line for hours. We chose not to use the audio guide we purchased. Again crowd size limited our ability to stop, look and listen. In the future I will book sooner and get a tour guide. Thanks to head out- the only one to get us last minute tickets into the Orsay !

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

Die Tickets für das Musée de l'Orangerie und Musée d'Orsay waren sofort verfügbar. Da es eine separate Warteschlange für Besucher ohne Tickets gab, entstanden für uns keine Wartezeiten. Der Besuch des Museum l'Orangerie ist auf eine halbe Stunde begrenzt, was viel zu kurz ist. Von einem 30 Minütigen Besuch der Orangerie ist auf jeden Fall abzuraten, das ist nur Abzocke. Allerdings wurden wir beim rausgehen nicht kontrolliert. Das Musse d'Orsay schliesst offiziell um 18:00, un 17:45 waren schon einige Räume geschlossen, daher dieses Museum früher einplanen, es gibt kein Zeitlimit ausser den Öffnungszeiten.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.

Explore the Orangerie Museum: Your guide to Monet, masterpieces, and tickets

In 1852, to protect the orange trees in the Tuileries Garden from the harsh winter, Napoleon III commissioned a structure that later evolved into today’s Orangerie Museum—one of Paris' most esteemed art galleries.

The museum showcases an extraordinary collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, including Claude Monet's iconic *Water Lilies *series, works by Pablo Picasso, and other renowned artists.

A hidden gem for art lovers

The Orangerie might not be as famous as the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a peaceful, intimate space where you can enjoy some of the greatest masterpieces of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art without the overwhelming crowds. Home to works by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alfred Sisley, and Maurice Utrillo.

Witness to epic transformations

The Orangerie wasn’t always an art museum. Built in 1852 as a simple shelter for the orange trees of the Tuileries Garden, it has since served as everything from a warehouse to military accommodation. In 1921, it came under the care of the Beaux-Arts administration, and with the involvement of Claude Monet, evolved into a temple of art. Today, it’s a beautifully restored museum that carries the layers of its past—making it an even more special place to visit.

The heart of the museum: The Monet series

The museum's crown jewel is, without a doubt, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. These massive murals were designed specifically for the Orangerie, and stepping into the rooms where they’re displayed feels like entering another world.

Monet spent over 30 years perfecting this series, capturing the tranquility and beauty of his garden at Giverny. As you stand in front of these murals, it’s easy to lose yourself in the soft colors and flowing brushstrokes. It’s an experience that’s as emotional as it is visually stunning—and one you won’t want to miss.

Sanctuary for art and artist

The Orangerie’s collection goes beyond Monet. Masterpieces like Young Girls at the Piano, The Afternoon in Naples, The Groom, *and Portrait of Paul Guillaume *offer a glimpse into the diverse 20th-century art scene. To gaze upon these and (hopefully) be inspired by the rich textures, bold colors, and innovative techniques that defined an era, is an artist’s dream.

Things to know before booking your Orangerie tickets

  • It's highly recommended to book your tickets online in advance. This allows you to choose a specific date and time slot, helping you skip the potentially long lines at the entrance. Since entry without a reservation isn’t always guaranteed, pre-booking helps you avoid disappointment, especially during peak tourist seasons​.

  • The Orangerie uses a timed ticketing system, meaning your ticket will be valid only for the designated 30-minute time window. Be sure to plan accordingly and arrive within that window to avoid any issues with entry​.

  • Your ticket grants general admission to the museum, including access to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies in the Nymphéas Room. You'll also have access to the museum's permanent collection and any temporary exhibitions running during your visit​.

  • The Orangerie and the Musée d'Orsay are only 10 minutes apart, making them a perfect cultural duo for one day. The Orsay provides historical context, showcasing the rise of Impressionism, while the Orangerie presents the culmination of these movements, with masterpieces like Water Lilies displayed in a peaceful, intimate setting. If you're a fan of the period, book a combo ticket that will allow you to visit both museums and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the era.

  • For those looking to save money, the Orangerie offers free admission on the first Sunday of every month. However, even on these days, you’ll still need to book your ticket online to reserve a time slot.

Water Lilies

Gallery 2

Claude Monet’s breathtaking mural captures the essence of serenity in nature. His soft, fluid brushstrokes evoke the calm of the water and the stillness of the lilies, making it a meditative experience.

Water Lilies

Gallery 3

In this stunning continuation of Monet’s garden, light seems to dance on the surface of the water. Monet’s signature Impressionist style brings a sense of peacefulness as the scene subtly shifts with each glance.

Women on the Couch

Marie Laurencin’s pastel-toned portrait of two women radiates intimacy and feminine grace, with soft colors that create an almost dreamlike ambiance.

Large Bather

Paul Cézanne’s exploration of form comes alive in Large Bather, where simplicity meets complexity in his study of light, shadow, and shape through the human figure.

Young Girls at the Piano
