Itinerary
This museum is a gem and a perfect continuation of the Orsay museum visit. The collection is a perfect encapsulation of the turn of the 19th to 20th century artistic scene, featuring the very peak of French art in what is known to most as la belle epoque, the beautiful era. This museum visit presents the time, its values and ideas, and how they are all present in impressionist and post impressionist art.

I took a few of my company's partners on a trip to Paris and I didn't regret booking Paris in Person. Their tour guide Sofia was an astonishing guide, she had it all: tourism info, education and current happenings, all in one sleeve. Truly enjoyed all her guided tours that made our retreat whole.
Visiting Orangerie Museum in Paris was an amazing experience and solely because our guide, Sofia, is an amazingly knowledgeable. We found out so much about history, art and even anecdotes from the lives of the painters. It was like 1,5h of class that you don't want to end. Each and every painting got a story that we now carry with each other. The guide literally brought the museum paintings to life, and most importantly our lives.
This was a fantastic experience. Sofia, our guide, was so knowledgable about impressionism and the tour was eye opening since she first provided a historical context in which the movement was founded.
Absolutely fabulous tour with Hannah! We loved exploring this interesting collection, getting a glimpse into the storied histories of all the incredible art. Finished the tour with a walk through the water lilies. Can’t recommend this tour enough! My teenaged kids were especially engaged!
First guided museum experience, Boris was a great teacher and insightful. At the Orangerie, Boris didn’t just explain the art, he drew the observations out of me, asking the right questions until I could see the beauty and understand the context for myself. Patience, knowledgeable, and a wonderful guide. Enjoyed discussing Christianity, history and art. Highly recommend!
Beautiful museum close to the Louvre. Elizabeth is a knowledgeable guide and great story teller. We enjoyed her enthusiasm!
Most knowledgeable person on French art history I have ever met. Great tour. Would recommend without reservation
Boris has to be the best guide in Paris. He has an incredibly unique and engaging approach, one of the best tours I have ever taken. He has a deep knowledge and passion for what he does, which was very evident. He was able to bring the art to life with his insights and stories—truly an amazing experience. I went with family, and he was able to keep both adults and kids engaged, making it a fantastic experience for all ages. Seeing Monet’s monumental canvases was breathtaking, and the guide’s explanations added so much depth to our understanding and appreciation. Anyways, this is a must for anyone visiting the city. It’s a compact, insightful dive into an exciting art period. The tour was like having a personal storyteller who makes history and art come alive!
I honestly really enjoyed this tour. 1.5 hours was the perfect amount of time to get a decent understanding of the Orangerie and its main pieces. I would definitely go back! If you are looking for a great way to get in-depth knowledge about the pieces on display, this is the tour for you!
The guide was so knowledgeable and engaging - this tour is excellent! Even my 7 year old son asked questions and did not lose interest to the end! Orangerie is one of those Parisian places you can not miss - my sincere recommendation!
Yes, the museum itself is a wonder. Yes, the art is enough to keep you immersed for a long while. And yet, Boris finds a way to make the experience even more enjoyable with choice tidbits of history and spicy details behind some of the works. You will not regret going on this tour, believe me.
Boris led a thoroughly comprehensive and thought-provoking tour, with depth that was a change from the banal and ordinary which one could easily discover oneself on Google. Instead, we were taken on a sort of artistic adventure into aesthetics, light and shade, the lives of artists, of Parisian salons, France & Europe across the centuries from Catholicism to secularism, and beyond. Where one may expect a few hours of distraction to fill up a day and tick a tourist box, one left having acquired something truly meaningful.
I really enjoy the tour. My husband and I learned a lot. Boris is an excellent guide who’s really passionate. I would recommend him to anyone!
This is for sure the most beautiful museum in Paris. The architecture of the museum itself, immersivness of Monet’s lilies & guide’s impressive art history knowlegde coupled with his extraordinary talent for storytelling made the entire experience numinous. I will come back again very soon and book another tour with Paris in Person.
Orangerie was always on our list and we were very fortunate to find this tour - it was super relaxed and enjoyable, felt very tailored to our interests and tempo. Highly recommend!
Unforgettable tour, Isabella is really an exceptional guide, well informed and extremelly kind person ! She also lead us to the dowstairs exposition of others fantastic Artists, like Modigliani, etc.
Great experience, i will recommend it to my friends. The tour guy was really funny and smart, he really know history of place.
Wow! Perhaps the coolest art tour out there. Monet’s masterpiece for the ages, and in a perfectly designed venue. You’ll never think of impressionism the same…
An immersion into beauty, unique and moving. Perfect combination of letting yourself be guided and pleasantly getting lost. To be repeated, even with children.
This tour, like all the others I have had the opportunity to see with Paris in Person, was very inspiring and unique. Thank you!
Great visit, I highly recommend. Passionate about impressionism, our guide enchanted us with his knowledge
