• Musée de l’Orangerie - Situated within the beautifully maintained Tuileries Gardens, the Orangerie was transformed into a museum in the early 20th century to meet the increasing need for exhibition space in Paris’s crowded museums. It is famous for showcasing Monet’s iconic Water Lilies series, a gift to France made possible by the artist’s close friendship with Georges Clemenceau, displayed in a dedicated gallery. The museum’s extensive collection also features masterpieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including works by prominent Impressionists and their successors. Visitors can appreciate Cézanne’s studies of fruits and flowers, Matisse’s captivating portraits, and various stages of Picasso’s artistic journey, highlighted by several of his nudes. The Orangerie also includes pieces by Modigliani, Renoir, and Utrillo, making it a must-visit for enthusiasts of French art and the Impressionist era.
