Musée de l’Orangerie

Nestled at the western end of the Tuileries Garden, the Musée de l’Orangerie offers a breathtaking view of Place de la Concorde and the Seine River. Originally built in 1852 as a shelter for orange trees, the museum now houses an impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art. The highlight of the collection is undoubtedly the eight Water Lilies murals by Claude Monet, which fill two oval rooms with their serene, immersive beauty. Visitors can explore these masterpieces and other notable works, making it a key destination for art enthusiasts.
