I loved both museums, which you can visit on 2 different days with the combo ticket - just pick the dates and times. Please take my advice and visit them on separate days as the Orsay Museum is a former train station that has been repurposed into a multifloor museum. It is enormous and worth taking your time through. You can download the audio guide on your phone, using the Global Audio App, before the visit. The Museum also has a very nice cafe restaurant for a snack or lunch, which you can enjoy with aome alcohol if desired. I had a late lunch there, between visiting floors, and it was very enjoyable. The museum also hosted a special Renoir exhibition during my visit. L''Orangerie is a must for any serious Monet wtarelillies art lover. It was very special and I'm so pleased to have paced myself to visit both while in Paris.

We didn't have to wait a single moment, the entry to the museum was very smooth. It was very appreciated due to the extreme temperatures. The control inside was efficient and not too long. Inside the museum, our experience was wonderful. The Renoir exhibition was a treat and we had the opportunitiy to admire his drawings and also paintings which we had never seen before. Highly recommended!

I was very pleased to quickly find two tickets for the same day at the time I wanted on your website. And the visit was very enjoyable (despite the heat wave!)—I got to see, among other things, two magnificent paintings by Millet, one of which was a copy that used to hang in my grandparents’ dining room! *The Gleaners* and *The Angelus*. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you.

It was beautiful experience with my family. In Orsay we liked the most the sculptures, because they are really expressive and portraits, which are also memorable and inside the character. In Orangerie my favoruite was Monet's Lillies, they really gave me calmness and peace that I was craving for.

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.

I arrived a little before the scheduled time and had no trouble getting in. I saw the permanent exhibition and the temporary ones. I thought the Renoir exhibition was beautiful and very comprehensive. The museum is very interesting. It has paintings from various periods and styles.
