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.

They were also some families on the same tour and we all arrived 30 mins early at the meeting place. We contacted support and took us more than 30 mins to figureout that we have moved to 5:15pm because local contractor got an issue. Do not ruin your schedule or vacation!!! We are now processing our full refund and hope we can get it or we will file dispute to our credit card comp.

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.

Our tickets come up on the app to get us in. I did not realize I would need them to get into each wing. When we went to pull them up again I could not get the PDF to load due to bad wifi and signal in the Louvre. There was no help number to calll with the head out app. We kept clickingz and clicking around until they finally popped back popes up. We never did figure out how we found them the second time. You need some type of tech support that is reachable. It was very frustrating to think we had lost our tickets and could not get in.

Louvre is in itself a sight worth seeing. The collections are huge and well displayed. However, to get the maximum out of your visit pre-planning is worth while. As the exhibits are so large you easily end up walking and gawking aimlessly without necessarily seeing what you came to see. The interactive guide (audio guide) takes some time to truly understand. For those who have played games on a PSP have a huge advantage.

Beautiful places but too crowded. At Versailles, in particular, everyone clustered together. Then it was not made clear at the time of purchase that the Palace + gardens ticket would allow us access to the gardens even before the Palace entrance time. We realized this by accident. Just as it was not clear that the ticket also included entrance to the Grand Trianon. For admission to the Louvre, however, it would have been better if you had informed us with an email about the permanent exhibitions that were not visible, at least we were prepared. For example, the Egyptian one. Greetings

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!

Staff then out me a queue, but we we got in, the QR code was not acceptable and we had to buy new tickets. I could get any help from the cat via the app and no-one answered the phone. Thankfully Headout fully refunded our tickets, and I appreciate that.

I had already visited the museum in 1992. I remembered it vaguely, very endearing, I remember that the "Pere Tanguy" was hanging on a wall of the staircase. Now with the remodeling works and the acquisition of new sculptures acquisition of new sculptures, it has become wonderfully beautiful. A must for lovers of sculpture and especially those of Rodin. Ah, impressive the amount of pieces that can be seen, both inside and in the garden. You can not miss it!

Impressionist treasures at Orsay Museum

Tourists exploring Orsay Museum in Paris

The building

Step inside a former grand train station (Gare d'Orsay, 1898-1900) and be amazed. Today, the Orsay Museum features a vast, light-filled hall featuring vaulted ceilings, intricate metalwork, and large windows that offer glimpses of the Seine, all while showcasing Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks.

View from inside the Orsay Museum, Paris, featuring the iconic giant clock

The Orsay clocks

Known as the “Big Ben of Paris”, the Orsay clocks have marked the time since the 1900s. Two large clocks, with steel and glass frames, were installed in the towers overlooking the Seine, guiding passengers to their trains. Even after the station’s transformation into a museum, these clocks remained.

One clock, now part of Café Campana, offers a stunning view over the Seine River, while a grand Belle Époque clock graces the Great Hall.

The collection

Although the Orsay station couldn’t accommodate longer, modern trains, its transformation allowed it to house an impressive collection of 6,000 works of French art, including 3,000 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces.

Explore iconic works like Monet’s Poppies, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Rodin’s The Age of Bronze. Other notable pieces include Cézanne’s Apples and Oranges, Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles, and Monet’s Water Lilies.

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

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.
