Easily, good prices, avoid loosing time. Everything went smoothly.
The hotel was closed on the day of my visit after I bought the ticket.
The building is beautifully renovated and the furniture simply outstanding. The Al Thani exhibition was likewise extremely interesting as well as the objects displayed. Besides, the restaurant on the ground floor is extremely pleasant. We recommend!
Exceptional visit but why do we have to download and pay an App to get the ticket ?
Actually we had a snag in the ticketing process. We showed up for our reserved time but the museum was closed for a private event. "You should not have been sold these tickets," they said at the door. Thankfully we were able to come back the next day. Another lady who also showed up was not so lucky. Once we got in, it was a beautiful museum and the audioguide gave us good information. Loved that it was less crowded than other places we visited in Paris.
Beautiful rooms with exquisite furnishings and decorations in historic context. The audio guide was excellent and set the standard. The tour was clear and well organized. This was a highlight of our visit to Paris.

L'Orangerie is an outstanding museum! The Monet water lily paintings are absolutely gorgr! The trick is to get people to stop talking in the gallery and to move away from in front of the paintings! ☺️
We love Claude Monet. We wanted to introduce him to our grandchildren.
I went straight in without queuing

Was able to enter the museum in the FastTrack line without a long queue. This ticket purchase system is to be recommended. The museum exhibition is also absolutely worth seeing.

We particularly liked the pictures of the water lilies. Unfortunately, there were too many people there, so we didn't have time to look at everything in detail.

Wondering what to include in your Paris itinerary? We got one, Hotel de la Marine. Be warned! If you’re a history buff or have one in your group, you are going to geek out, and here are four reasons why:
The hotel is steeped in history, as far back as the 18th century. It was originally the royal storage for the Crown's furniture and during the French Revolution, became the headquarters for the French Navy. Recently in 2021, after extensive restoration, it opened as a museum, showcasing its rich history and opulent interiors.
Not just about public spaces, the hotel houses secret rooms and hidden passages that once served the French monarchy. When it was originally used by the French monarchy, there were hidden areas essential for managing royal furnishings and treasures. Connecting these rooms were narrow passages allowing for discreet movements between rooms.
A masterpiece of neoclassical architecture from the 18th century, the Hotel de la Marine was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. The facade, inspired by the Louvre Palace, is decorated with sculpted medallions and garlands and a distinguishing feature, the loggia. This passageway is lined with twelve Corinthian Columns, a checkerboard stone floor, and sculpted bas-reliefs.
Housed within the hotel is a stunning collection of period furniture, art, and decorative objects.
Currently ongoing at the hotel is an exhibition of the Al Thani Collection which features an exceptional body of art spanning a long period from antiquity to the present day. With each room and exhibition telling a story of luxury and craftsmanship, the Hotel de la Marine is a living museum of beauty and history.
Visit the intimate spaces of the Intendants who once called Hotel de la Marine their home. It’ll feel like walking through an 18th-century laboratory, filled with furnishing, decor, and artwork, belonging to that period.
Did you know: The original sky-blue paint in the tiled antechamber was found after removing 18 layers of paint.
