Highlights
Step into the world’s most famous Impressionist museum — the Musée d’Orsay. This experience includes: Musée d’Orsay entry ticket and self-guided audio guide on your smartphone (not an official museum audio guide). You’ll explore the museum at your own pace while we explain 50 iconic artworks across 48 audio stops. It’s not a full catalogue of everything inside the museum (there’s a lot more!), but it is the perfect route to understand why these artists changed art forever. You’ll learn: how Impressionism was born; how to tell Monet from Manet; why we keep staring at certain paintings — and what makes them truly great. Expect short, engaging stories with a bit of humor — written by real historians, journalists, and editors. Offline 3D map included — no group, no rush, no stress. The tour takes around 2.5 hours, but you can pause anytime for a coffee break. Bring your own phone + headphones. Nothing is provided at the museum.

It holds one of the finest collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in the world, featuring masterpieces by Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Renoir, Cézanne, and many others. The museum’s vast, light-filled galleries preserve the grandeur of its original 19th-century architecture while offering an intimate encounter with revolutionary works from 1848 to 1914.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
