Combo: Eiffel Tower Summit Tour + Orsay Museum Ticket

It is my absolute favorite museum, with a wonderful layout. The best time to visit is just before closing, when the people who love snapping selfies right in front of the masterpieces have left the Impressionist galleries, offering a brief window to truly savor the experience. Perhaps they should introduce special "sessions"—priced higher, but with a no-photography rule? :)

The ticket was effortlessly accepted and they even allow me to enter earlier than the ticket so I had plenty of time to see the collections. It was crowded but not uncomfortably so. The museum is beautiful and even with some entrances blocked because of remodeling, easy to access by metro.

The opening hours and time limit weren't very clear, but when the official tickets arrived—with free admission and no time limit—I was pleasantly surprised! Plus, I barely had to wait in line at the entrance. Great!!!

We had some trouble with the ticket, but a really nice young woman at the entrance helped us out. The Renoir special exhibitions were amazing, as was the rooftop terrace.

Unique museum by content of art work and ingeniously re -purposed old train station. Great cafe. Exit to the roof gives almost panoramic views of Paris

The Musée d’Orsay isn’t just a museum: it’s one of those places that stays with you long after you’ve left, like a feeling that’s hard to explain but impossible to forget. As soon as you walk in, you get a sort of silent “wow.” The former train station, built for the 1900 World’s Fair, welcomes you with that enormous open space, the stained-glass windows, the giant clock… and for a moment you stop. Not to look at anything in particular, but just to soak up the atmosphere. It’s one of those places where you don’t feel the need to rush. Then you start walking, without rushing, and little by little you realize that you’re not just looking at paintings… you’re experiencing them. Standing before Claude Monet’s works, you can almost feel the calm of the water and the light, while with Edgar Degas you enter into intimate, stolen moments, as if you were right there with his subjects. But it’s in front of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings that something truly changes: there’s a different energy, more intense, almost restless. You don’t just look at them… you feel them. The great thing is that you don’t need to be an art expert. In fact, maybe it’s better not to be. Because at the d’Orsay, you let your emotions guide you more than your mind. You find yourself stopping in front of a painting longer than expected, without really knowing why. And that’s okay. And then there’s that iconic view from the clock. You look out and see Paris filtered through time, as if you were watching the city from another era. In that moment, you realize that the museum isn’t just inside… it’s also outside, in the city that keeps on living. The Musée d’Orsay is one of those places you don’t just “visit.” You walk through it, and somehow it walks through you. When you leave, you might be tired, but it’s a beautiful, fulfilling kind of tiredness. Like after something that has truly left a mark on you.
