In 1852, to protect the orange trees in the Tuileries Garden from the harsh winter, Napoleon III commissioned a structure that later evolved into today’s Orangerie Museum—one of Paris' most esteemed art galleries.
The museum showcases an extraordinary collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, including Claude Monet's iconic Water Lilies series, works by Pablo Picasso, and other renowned artists.
Want to make the most of your visit? Discover our insider tips for selecting the perfect Orangerie Museum tickets and exploring its world-class collection with ease.
The Orangerie might not be as famous as the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a peaceful, intimate space where you can enjoy some of the greatest masterpieces of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art without the overwhelming crowds. Home to works by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alfred Sisley, and Maurice Utrillo.
The Orangerie wasn’t always an art museum. Built in 1852 as a simple shelter for the orange trees of the Tuileries Garden, it has since served as everything from a warehouse to military accommodation. In 1921, it came under the care of the Beaux-Arts administration, and with the involvement of Claude Monet, evolved into a temple of art. Today, it’s a beautifully restored museum that carries the layers of its past—making it an even more special place to visit.
The museum's crown jewel is, without a doubt, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. These massive murals were designed specifically for the Orangerie, and stepping into the rooms where they’re displayed feels like entering another world.
Monet spent over 30 years perfecting this series, capturing the tranquility and beauty of his garden at Giverny. As you stand in front of these murals, it’s easy to lose yourself in the soft colors and flowing brushstrokes. It’s an experience that’s as emotional as it is visually stunning—and one you won’t want to miss.
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.
Gallery 2
Claude Monet’s breathtaking mural captures the essence of serenity in nature. His soft, fluid brushstrokes evoke the calm of the water and the stillness of the lilies, making it a meditative experience.
Gallery 3
In this stunning continuation of Monet’s garden, light seems to dance on the surface of the water. Monet’s signature Impressionist style brings a sense of peacefulness as the scene subtly shifts with each glance.
Marie Laurencin’s pastel-toned portrait of two women radiates intimacy and feminine grace, with soft colors that create an almost dreamlike ambiance.
Paul Cézanne’s exploration of form comes alive in Large Bather, where simplicity meets complexity in his study of light, shadow, and shape through the human figure.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s tender depiction of two girls at a piano captures a warm, domestic moment. The piece exudes charm and the innocence of youth through Renoir’s light-filled, expressive brushstrokes.
Amedeo Modigliani’s stylized portrait of art dealer Paul Guillaume is an exercise in minimalist elegance, using striking, elongated features to convey a sense of calm and contemplation.
Paul Cézanne’s still life reveals his fascination with the geometry of everyday objects. Through subtle shifts in color and light, he transforms a simple table setting into a study of form and balance.
Chaim Soutine’s The Little Pastry Chef pulsates with energy, using bold brushstrokes to bring the young subject to life. His unique style captures the rawness of the moment.
Henri Rousseau’s fantastical vision of a horse-drawn carriage transports viewers into a surreal landscape, where whimsy meets reality in his signature naive style.
Marie Laurencin’s delicate rendering of Coco Chanel celebrates the iconic fashion figure. Through soft, elegant hues, Laurencin captures the quiet sophistication of Chanel’s poised presence.

Absolutely! While the Louvre and Orsay are incredible museums, Orangerie offers a more intimate experience, especially with Monet's "Water Lilies" in their uniquely designed space. It also houses a superb collection of early 20th-century masterpieces by artists like Renoir, Cézanne, and Modigliani.
The tickets worked with no issue. But upon booking it will say you can cancel 24hrs with money back, but only at check out there will be fine prints/small sign that you have to click in to realize you can't, and if you only want to change a time slot, you can't do it but end up need to book again with no money back. Also, some museum are actually not that strict with time, (when we are at louvre a staff clearly said that the time doesn't really matter)but the website make it sounds like it's an 100%no. It's just not very clear.
Museum to see just for the display of Monet's Water Lilies! Super platform to buy, on the museum website the tickets were not available but here I was able to buy it 10 min before the entrance. Highly recommended!!!
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.
Standing in the queue didn't take a long time.
It avoided the long queues and the time was also well chosen
no waiting. modern museum is comfortable
Skip tail. Beautiful exhibits.
the paintings of the water lilies unmistakably
Avoid waiting in ticket queues and head straight into the museum to experience Impressionist masterpieces, including Monet’s iconic Water Lilies.
Everything you get: Fast-track entry to the Orangerie Museum’s permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. Access to the Nymphéas Room, where Monet’s iconic Water Lilies murals are displayed in immersive, light-filled spaces.
Why choose this: No more waiting in line to get tickets. Save up to 30 minutes there and spend them exploring Monet's Water Lilies and the Impressionist paintings.

It was a great tour 🧿🧿🧿 nice scenery with important points on the route.
Easy admission and comfortable ride
Lovely way to see the main sights whilst enjoying the motion of the boat and the ambience of the river way. We stood at the bottom deck but out on one side and at the very front railing so had a great time. Not enough seats up on the roof though.
What I enjoyed the most was the views and the boat. It's the second time I did the experience with bateaux parisiens this year. Good.
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were beautiful, the boat was clean and safe, and it was not overcrowded. Both children and adults in our group had a lovely time. We could have stayed on much longer.
Choosing the right seat is very important, and sitting on the left-hand side is rather interesting. A little Marseillaise on the way.

We still enjoyed it but the boat was crowded and the guide spoke very fast as he had 3 languages to speak. Reign it back and appreciate your tourists rather than trying to mass tourist instead.
Everything went very well. The trip was great, we saw the main attractions in Paris and the guide told us about the history of each place. Buying the tickets was also super easy. Definitely an experience to repeat.
Nice from seine good picture and also in short time perception of the environment. And new images that you normally can not see
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.
Affordable. Best value for money
this was a very easy booking and a nice experience
Seeing the culture of Paris. Love being on the water. The tour house was superb
All the route, explanations thank you for a good time

Time to relax and amazing views😍
Standing in the queue didn't take a long time.
The weather was great and the route was great to sightsee.

Fantastic exhibition...and the location.... mind-blowing.... Very organized at the entrance ,I opted for audio guides which were comprehensive.... exceptional experience
The museum houses some of the best works of Impressionism, there are no long lines (visited on a Saturday lunchtime), I also attended a show with dancers I was unable to download the audio guide I had purchased, probably because of the slow network, I recommend doing that first!
Paris is without a doubt a wonderful city. From Montmarte, with its artistic alleys, to the Louvre Museum, to the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, every corner smells of art. Even the Orsay Museum located in the train station with paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, the glass roof and its precious clock, an iconic symbol of French art, are part of this spectacular city . Skipping the queue and entering at the chosen time embellished the visit.
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 !
We did a self-guided tour through the museum and spent several hours enjoying the art and stopping for a nice meal in the Orsay. Day was just delightful because of environment (the former train station alone is worth seeing), exhibits and manner of display.
We had 9:30 set time tickets and were redirected to a shorter line. Anyone buying tickets with any time entry has to wait in a very long line. I recommend these tickets
The below paintings were fabulous
I was able to avoid the queues. Most convenient!!!
Entering with fast track was very helpful 👍🏻
The exhibits were awesome. Love the impressionists.
Exhibition among the most beautiful in the world in a spectacular location
Easy tickets and easy entry! When it said audio guide - I thought it meant the official one. Instead you have to download another app and the quality of the audio guide is not very good. I ended up reading the signs more then using the audio guide. Still worth it for the tickets!
Using the tickets was very convenient. We were able to get right in despite very long lines. The museum was spectacular! Definitely a must see!
We had not planned ahead and WA fed to visit the Meusee d'Orsay. The museum.said they were sold out for the dag the but Heading saved the day. We were able to bet tickets to tour this fabulous museum. It is a must see.
We loved the impressionist art & history. The view from the balcony bar over the Louvre & Jardins Tulleries was sensational
The audio guide did not work and the museum has moved on to a different system, so were unable to help. Even the guide was out of date and didn't reflect the exhibits
Quick access to selected time slot. Beautiful facility, offers outstanding visibility to all works. Enchanting terrace and cafe overlooking the clock window.
Easy, quick and great value for money. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Straight to the front of the queue!
Hello! Everything was great, except for the audio guide experience. I downloaded the app that was noted in the confirmation email (global audio guide), and while the email said no code was needed, when I opened the app I was promptly asked for a code. I tried using the booking ID from Headout but that didn't work, and there was no other number in the email that I could reference. The staff at the audio guide desk at the museum said they were unaffiliated with both companies so I had to purchase audio guides for everyone in our group which was disappointing and an added cost that I thought would be covered with this ticket. As such, I'm wondering if it would be possible to get reimbursed for the cost of those devices? Merci! ~Krista
It's a world-class museum. Be aware that the audio is something you are supposed to download on your phone-- NOT the audio the museum gives out.
The exhibits were closed temporarily because of an alarm in the museum. I was almost finished with the tour, but I wasn't sure when I was allowed back in to see the rest.
The fast track tickets were excellent, no waiting in long lines. The staff were very pleasant and it made the visit memorable. The museum was a fantastic experience so worth going to.
The best part of the experience was that today was our last day in Paris, and already yesterday the tickets for the Musée D'Orsay were sold out - and earlier today we were able to buy two through Headout!
We showed up about 10 minutes before our ticket time and went to the line for time stamped tickets. We were let in immediately and got to skip all the lines in order to enter the museum. The audio recordings were also enjoyable.
The cathedral is beautiful. Our tour started late because there weren't enough audio guides and our guide had to go get more. Once we got in line, the people at the gate wouldn't let our group in. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes. Our guide did his best but some in the group were very annoyed that the immediate access was not accurate and that was why we got the group tickets in the first place. Would have liked more info on the reconstruction instead of religious stuff.

Everything was as expected. We entered with no delay .It was well organised . I hope our visit to Vatican turns to be as good as well
Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...
Everything went well. We received our tickets by e-mail 2 days before entry. We only waited 15 minutes in front of the entrance. I can only recommend Hedout.
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.
Everything worked perfectly. Tickets, admission and organization on site. We visited the Louvre in the morning and the Palace of Versailles in the afternoon. We had plenty of time. Top!
The Louvre uis a very crowded place, with it seemed to me, 250 people are per timeslot, so get there early. I never downloaded the audio guide, as I had no headphones. Otherwise the online ticket was perfect
Everything perfect, no tail !!!
Wonderful visit to the Louvre - nice idea to put special clothes in relation to art and decoration
The size of the museum and the large number of old exhibits
The uncomplicated entry and the large number of exhibits
Admission was fantastically quick, we were 10 minutes earlier in the Louvre.
Nice experience with this combo tickets to Louvre Museum and Versailles. Is better to have the bookung at the desired time to avoid to stay at long lines.
Unable to download tickets for the audioguide even though we had downloaded the entrance tickets. Shame about the unnecessary expense
The queue was short as it was a timed visit. The map wasn't easy to navigate but was somewhat helpful. There was no way we could see everything so we did as much as possible and it was a great experience. Not all the paintings and art works had an audio guide recording which I think wouldn't be difficult to add to the app even few lines would be better than nothing. One last thing, I don't understand why the tickets arrived very late the night before the visit date. Despite the customer service reassuring me that it would come but I was still nervous about it. For future I suggest that you send them at least 48-72 hours in advance for the peace of mind of customers.
The visit to the Louvre was a great experience. Entry without queuing and waiting. The use of the audio guide was a bit annoying and confusing. We ended up switching it off. Too bad.
Straightforward, easy redemption and no queues. Tickets for The Louvre only arrived on the day of the visit so was a little concerned but everything went smoothly.
Versalles beautiful! The audio guide too quiet. Louvre too crowded, difficulties with the ticket, the audio guide useless
The eternal queuing despite having a reservation and a ticket is more than annoying. In the Louvre it spreads out a little after you have passed the second, correct ticket control. For Mona Lisa, plan to queue for another half an hour to an hour. The mass of people and abundance of exhibits is overwhelming - you need several days to take a cursory look at "everything".
Good but the Bus Tour end too early so you probably do the best when your first make a stop somewhere and then you drive the whole rund to get a feeling for the City and then you exit at louvre for example to do that.
Tickets should be handed in immediately at the time of purchase. I paid for two audio guides that I did not use and this should not happen.
The museum is really amazing, but the audio guide is unfortunately not to be recommended... It keeps stopping automatically and is sometimes really badly read out!
The museum is very nice, very well-kept...in my opinion they need to improve the way how to see the Monalisa, they should have a queue because all crowded pushing each other is not a safe way, especially for children.
I booked the tickets days ago and until two hours before going in they did not send them to me after giving several notices that they had not arrived.
The Louvre is simply unique in terms of its collection and the way it is presented... All family members from small to large were totally thrilled... Regarding the booking itself, I have to say that there were system-related problems but the support responded super quickly and did everything to ensure that we were able to experience the experience with an hour's delay but no matter because the service was great... Headset is absolutely recommended for city trips... so also 5 stars... Thank you!
It was a very good experience! I got the tickets the previus day, I went there on time and I didn't wait at the queue at all!!! It was the easiest place to go and get in. I used the given by the museum map and after that the tour was a piece of cake. Thank you vwry much headout
