The time slot entry system was the best! I didn't have to wait in long lines and the Museum is very punctual with the assigned time slots. Just by showing my ticket on the phone, I was able to enter the galleries without any problems. I took the recommendation to start with the impressionist room on the 5th floor and then went to the 2nd floor. I had a tour of about 4 hours that allowed me to see works I had always wanted to see up close.

#1- The exhibits were amazing #2 The timed fast track tickets really shortened our wait . #3 The crowd was enormous and therefore we moved very slowly thru the collection . We stopping half way thru for a bite and drink in the dining area. #4 the audio was not easy to download . We ended up paying again in the museum for their audio with head set

The fast track has proved very successful. As we already know and appreciate the artists and the museum, quick access was important to us. A guided tour or audioguide was not necessary. The presentation of the current exhibitions was ok, actually very good. The Impressionists are arranged in a somewhat "jumbled" way, there was no recognizable strategy.

Get fast-track entry at one of Paris’s most celebrated museums, & head straight to the museum’s 19th-century art collection.

Explore artworks by Monet, Renoir, & Van Gogh in the permanent and temporary collection at your own pace, & stay as long as you like during museum hours.

Upgrade to get a downloadable audio guide for offline insights and details of the museum’s Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art collection or go for a 2-hour guided tour for a more personalized experience.

The Musée d'Orsay is wonderful, splendid structure (which alone is worth the price of the ticket) and wonderful works of art well arranged and well explained. The cruise on the Seine is fascinating, we took it in the evening to admire the city lights. Very nice
