Musée de l'Orangerie: Private Guided Tour in Spanish

About this tour

Spend a couple of hours inside the Musée de l'Orangerie with your own private guide, skipping the ticket line on the way in. The highlight is Monet's Water Lilies, eight huge panels wrapping around two oval rooms built to the artist's own design. Downstairs, the Walter-Guillaume collection fills in the rest with Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso, and Rousseau. All entrance fees are covered, and the tour is guided in Spanish.

Visiting the Musée de l'Orangerie: What to Expect

Your guide meets you at the museum, in the Jardin des Tuileries at the garden's western end, next to Place de la Concorde. Once inside, the ground floor holds Monet's Water Lilies across two curved oval rooms, where light comes in from above the way Monet intended. The lower level is given over to the Walter-Guillaume collection, a tighter, more traditional gallery hang of late-19th and early-20th-century masters. The Orangerie is a small museum, so the pace stays relaxed and you won't feel the fatigue of somewhere like the Louvre.

The museum runs roughly 09:00 to 18:00, with last entry about an hour before closing, and is usually closed on Tuesdays plus 1 May, 25 December, and 1 January. Hours can shift around public holidays, so it's worth checking the official site before you go. There's no dress code, but comfortable shoes help since you'll be on your feet in the galleries. Getting here is easy: the Concorde metro (lines 1, 8, 12) and Tuileries (line 1) are both close, as are bus routes stopping at Place de la Concorde.
