My experience with Headout for the Musée d'Orsay was very successful. Booking was quick and easy, and the tickets were immediately available on my phone. Entry to the museum was stress-free, allowing me to enjoy the visit to the full. Everything was well organized and as described. I recommend Headout for its simplicity and efficiency.

Headout exceeded expectations and beyond imagination. I was immediately directed to the fast track queue where I sawthe least persons and where I experienced a nominal wait time. The first relief. Then entry was surprisingly a breeze and I was in the exhibition space in no time. A pleasure to be taken care of lifting me up before even seeing the extraordinary exhibition.

One cannot come to Paris without visiting the Musee d'Orsay. It is a constant thrill with every painting you admire. The Impressionists are the most viewed and Van Gogh, my favorite, draws a myriad of people. Despite the long line to get in because of the holiday season, there was no crowd inside the museum and I was able to pause to admire the paintings I loved most.

    Entering the Musée d'Orsay thrilled me from the first moment. Knowing that it was a former train station and seeing how they preserved those huge structures, the natural light and the clock, makes the space as impressive as the works it houses. What I enjoyed most was the Impressionist area: being in front of paintings by Monet, Renoir, Degas and Van Gogh among others, was a very special, almost intimate experience. The colors, strength and sensitivity of those works are felt in a unique way. I also enjoyed discovering the sculptures and how the whole museum dialogues with each other, even if you don't get to see everything. It was a great decision to have taken out the ticket in advance, as I was able to go through it at my leisure and without queues. A visit that really leaves a mark and that I recommend without hesitation.

    Having visited Paris several times over the years, I decided to take the family along. Knowing the queues for the museum we booked the fast track (timed) tickets and on arrival were thankful for doing so. The (normal) queue was several hundred metres in length. Whilst the fast track did not give you immediate entry, it was well worth paying the extra. We waited approximately 15 minutes. The museum itself was simply stunning and was able to enthuse our two boys also. On reflection I would probably start on the top floor (5th I believe) and work our way down. I have always been a fan of Impressionism and seeing the actual pieces of artwork that I have had hanging at home gave me goose bumps. Give yourself a minimum of two hours for the visit but realistically 3 hours would be best.

    the Musée d'Orsay is not just a museum, it is an emotional journey through art and time, capable of striking both the mind and the heart. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting Paris, even (and especially) on their first experience.
