What to expect

Discover some of the world's most famous artworks at the Musée d'Orsay in just two hours in a semi-private group of no more than 6 people. An expert guide will show you the most emblematic masterpieces housed in a spectacular Beaux-Arts railway station, including works by masters like Monet, Renoir, Manet, Cézanne, Degas and Van Gogh. Thanks to the small group size, it will be possible to customize the narrative to suit your personal interests.

The itinerary follows the best path through the collections and includes the most significant treasures preserved in the museum, with revealing excerpts from the fascinating memoirs of the artists who created them. Get up close and personal with Van Gogh's Starry Night Over the Rhone, Renoir's Bal du Moulin de la Galette and Manet's Olympia, see the unique dots of Georges Seurat's pointillism, and feel the airiness of Monet's atmospheric impressions.

The guide will uncover the details and stories that only connoisseurs and art historians know and take you back to the Belle Époque Paris where some of the greatest artists in history lived and worked, striving to capture the essence of their experiences and sustained only by their desire to create. You'll learn about the factors that influenced the birth of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and explore the revolutionary techniques that changed art forever.
