An Artistic Gem in the Heart of Paris: Musée de l'Orangerie

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, navigate to Jardin des Tuileries, 75001 Paris. Use a GPS or mapping app to find your route. Parking can be challenging in central Paris, so look for nearby parking garages such as 'Parking du Musée de l'Orangerie' located at 9 Rue de la Légion d'Honneur, 75007 Paris, which is about a 10-minute walk from the museum. Expect to pay around €3-4 per hour for parking.

• Metro

  To reach Musée de l'Orangerie by metro, take Line 1 (the yellow line) of the Paris Metro. If you are starting from Gare Saint-Lazare, board the train in the direction of Château de Vincennes and disembark at the 'Tuileries' station. Once you exit the metro, walk towards the Jardin des Tuileries, and the museum is located within the gardens, just a few minutes away.

• Bus

  You can also take the bus to Musée de l'Orangerie. Look for bus line 72, which travels along the Seine. Get off at the 'Constitution Hill' stop. From there, it's a short 5-minute walk to the museum. A single bus ticket costs €1.90.

• RER

  If you're coming from the outer suburbs, take the RER C line to 'Musée d'Orsay' station. From the station, it's about a 15-minute walk across the Seine River to reach the museum. This option is great if you're also planning to visit the Musée d'Orsay, as they are close to each other.
