About the Musée de l’Orangerie
The Orangerie began as a 19th‑century garden building and was transformed into a museum to house Monet’s Water Lilies after World War I. Today it also holds the exquisite Jean Walter–Paul Guillaume collection of modern art.
Booking in advance is recommended, especially on weekends, holidays, and school vacation periods when the museum is most popular.
Standard tickets grant access to the Water Lilies rooms and the upstairs collection; special exhibitions may require or include separate reservations depending on programming.
Audio guides and guided visits offer context on Monet’s late style, the room architecture, and the stories behind the Paul Guillaume collection.
Review ticket options, consider combined passes, and time your visit for gentle afternoon light in the Water Lilies rooms.

Visiting the Musée de l’Orangerie: What to Expect
A typical visit flows gently — from daylight in the garden to the soft hush of Monet’s rooms and the quiet joy of meeting modern paintings up close:
Enter through the Tuileries and pass security. Begin downstairs: two oval rooms designed for circling and pausing, where Water Lilies wrap you in seasons and reflections. Sit for a moment, then walk again; the paintings reward time.
Continue upstairs for the Jean Walter–Paul Guillaume collection. Smaller rooms, tender scale, and carefully chosen works create a sense of conversation — between artists, between paintings, and between you and what you notice.
