It was all so easy! Booking online, following the directions to the pier, finding the perfect seat (down below and outside-perfect) The one hour fit into our schedule perfectly and covered all the important sites. It is so great to see Paris from the perspective of the river as well! - and the price is extreamly resonable!

The fast track tickets were wonderful to have! The Orsay was so very crowded that without them we would have been in line for hours. We chose not to use the audio guide we purchased. Again crowd size limited our ability to stop, look and listen. In the future I will book sooner and get a tour guide. Thanks to head out- the only one to get us last minute tickets into the Orsay !

I made the reservation 30 min in advance, we went straight in and no lines. What I didn't like is that they say it closes at 6:00 pm when in fact it is 5:30 pm so the time we were able to be inside was even less than expected.

The HEADOUT tickets enabled us to avoid waiting in line. We were just passing through and were able to enjoy the Musée d'ORSAY in excellent conditions. We recommend the visit with digital audioguide, which is very useful for appreciating each work in this beautiful museum.

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

Why visit the Orangerie Museum?

A hidden gem for art lovers

While the Louvre and Orsay often steal the spotlight, the Orangerie Museum offers a unique experience. It's a peaceful, intimate space where you can view and connect with masterpieces of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art away from overwhelming crowds. Discover iconic works by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alfred Sisley, and Maurice Utrillo in a serene setting.

Witness to epic transformations

Originally built in 1852 as a simple shelter for the Tuileries Garden's orange trees, the museum's transformed from a warehouse to military housing. In 1921, it began its transformation into an art institution under the Beaux-Arts administration, with Claude Monet himself playing a key role in its evolution. Today, it stands as a beautifully restored museum, its layered past making it a special place to explore.

The heart of the museum: The Monet series

The museum's crown jewel, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, offers an unparalleled experience. These massive murals were designed specifically for the Orangerie, and stepping into their dedicated rooms feels like entering another world. Monet dedicated over 30 years to perfecting this series, capturing the beauty of his Giverny garden.

Sanctuary for art and artist

The Orangerie’s collection goes beyond Monet. Masterpieces like Young Girls at the Piano, The Afternoon in Naples, The Groom, and Portrait of Paul Guillaume offer a glimpse into the diverse 20th-century art scene. To gaze upon these and (hopefully) be inspired by the rich textures, bold colors, and innovative techniques that defined an era, is an artist’s dream.

Things to know before booking your Orangerie Museum tickets

  • All tickets grant general admission to the museum, including access to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies in the Nymphéas Room, the museum's permanent collection, and any temporary exhibitions running during your visit​.
  • It's highly recommended to book your tickets online in advance for guaranteed entry during peak season. Fast-track tickets allow you to choose a specific date and time slot, and help you skip the long ticket lines at the entrance.
  • The museum has a timed ticketing system, meaning your ticket will be valid for the 30-minutes from the time of your booking. Be sure to arrive within that window to avoid any issues with entry​.
  • Interested in uncovering the stories behind the Orangerie's masterpieces? Consider a combo ticket that includes museum access and a digital audio guide in 11 languages, letting you explore the collection at your own pace.
  • Just 10 minutes apart, the Orsay features Impressionism-influenced paintings, while the Orangerie displays the culmination of these movements with masterpieces like Water Lilies in a peaceful setting. A combo ticket to both museums offers insight into the Impressionist period art.
  • For those looking to save money, the Orangerie offers free admission on the first Sunday of every month. However, you will still need to book your tickets online to reserve a time slot.

Die Tickets für das Musée de l'Orangerie und Musée d'Orsay waren sofort verfügbar. Da es eine separate Warteschlange für Besucher ohne Tickets gab, entstanden für uns keine Wartezeiten. Der Besuch des Museum l'Orangerie ist auf eine halbe Stunde begrenzt, was viel zu kurz ist. Von einem 30 Minütigen Besuch der Orangerie ist auf jeden Fall abzuraten, das ist nur Abzocke. Allerdings wurden wir beim rausgehen nicht kontrolliert. Das Musse d'Orsay schliesst offiziell um 18:00, un 17:45 waren schon einige Räume geschlossen, daher dieses Museum früher einplanen, es gibt kein Zeitlimit ausser den Öffnungszeiten.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
