Musee d'Orsay

HIGHLIGHTS • Benefit from hassle-free access to the Orsay Museum with skip-the-line tickets • Entertain your kids by exploring the museum to solve a puzzle • Witness the very best of Impressionist art • Enjoy a nice coffee break in the museum café itself Meet your guide in front of the magnificent Musée d'Orsay façade and receive your skip-the-line tickets and an activity booklet for each kid. Through a no-line entrance, you’ll immediately begin your journey into French art history. First marvel above your heads: the Great Clock reminds us of the time the museum was a train station. Don’t you still feel trains passing from time to time? Your guide will tell you more about these intriguing vibrations while suggesting your kids focus on their first riddle about… the Statue of Liberty! Afterwards, and according to your children’s own interests, you might stop at a Rodin sculpted group or at Pompon’s Polar Bear. A whole section of the museum is dedicated to the Paris Opera House, as it was the most symbolic building of the period the museum covers (1848-1914). And the river which navigates the Phantom of the Opera? Is it only a legend? Hmm… Ask your top-rated guide, and you shall have the answer! The Impressionist gallery will overwhelm your expectations and also those of your kids. Because every masterpiece has a little secret to unveil: who really are the characters in Claude Monet's Poppies? What is so surprising about Degas’s statue Small Dancer Aged 14? Did Cézanne eat all the apples he painted? Thanks to your Welcomer's explanations, tailored around your children's ages and levels, your family will experience an interactive, artistic discovery and won’t miss any must-see paintings, whether it be Van Gogh’s Sunflowers or Gauguin's Tahitian scenes. Last but not least, beautiful overviews of Orsay architecture and Paris roofs will be available all along your visit from terraces or lookouts. Then you'll enjoy a refined moment in one of the Orsay stylish cafés. There is even a ballroom to be seen; if you suddenly feel like a 1900’s waltz dancer… well that's just the consequence that an inspired visit to the Orsay Museum can have!
