A lovely place, intelligently presented to the visitor through a very well thought-out audio guide and with a chapel that is outstandingly beautiful. You are taken through a millennium of French history as you walk around.

This was a real find as we were in the area and sort of just saw it and said lets go and have a look. So glad we did. It was great to have the audio guide so we could learn about the history of the place and BOY! Has it got some history. Interesting to see the painted glass windows that were very pretty. Only one thing I would say could have improved the experience. The gardens needed mowing and tidying and it really needs someone to go round with some weed killer before they get out of hand. I would recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Beautiful Royal Chapel… Fantastic views and audio commentary was excellent, well worth the entrance fee 😊

I can't offer much beyond the looks from the outside and the very nice grounds. We didn't do the tour. We needed a little break and it was a Great place to just relax and rest on a blanket on the grass in the shade and look out over the city. If you are interested in the history of churches in France and French Royalty you'd be fascinated and give it a 5. The last of the Louis's was buried here after his beheading in the French Revolution. Many of his predecessors are here too.

Chapelle royale de Dreux This imposing site, located high above the city, contains tombstones / tombstones of the post-French period, on each tomb lies a stone statue - a masterpiece of the buried figure, in a characteristic position, With a book, sleeping, with a sword or even covered with a stone blanket. The building has spectacular stained-glass windows with colors (which are not clear) preserved for so many years and it is located on the fringes and under an ancient church and maintained at a high level. In addition, outside the building you can see a beautiful view of the city. If passing through the area - strongly recommended!

A beautiful final resting place built for a king. Here lies the tombs of the Bourbon dynasty, richly detailed, refined, offering a glimpse inside royalty.

It’s a amazing place to know the history of France and Dreux. There are nice views of the city and nature.

A HISTORICAL MONUMENT TO VISIT. YOU CAN NOT ACCESS IN, BUT THE OUT SIDE VISIT IS WHAT THIS MONUMENT PROPOSE. IT IS IN THE CENTER OF DREUX, IN THE MAIN PEDESTRAL STREET OF DREUX. A NICE MONUMENT TO STOP AT. LUCIEN PASTOUR PROFESSIONAL GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDE.

Beautiful place

(Translated by Google) The Befroi (clock tower) in the city of Dreux is a 15th-century monument representing Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements. The tower is located in the historical center of the city and served as a symbol of freedom for local residents. Its elegant design and decorative elements make it one of Dreux's most striking buildings. (Original) Бефруа (часовая башня) в городе Дрё — это памятник XV века, представляющий готическую архитектуру с элементами ренессанса. Башня находится в историческом центре города и служила символом свободы для местных жителей. Её изящный дизайн и декоративные элементы делают её одним из самых ярких сооружений Дрё.

(Translated by Google) Lovers of Paris currency, Dreux and its belfry appeared obvious to us... We therefore visited the belfry (it was done quickly because only one room is open) although interesting, this visit does not count among our favorites. Don't think about spending the afternoon there for example, but have a pleasant time (Original) Amateurs de monnaie de Paris, Dreux et son beffroi sont apparus comme des évidences à nos yeux... Nous avons donc visité le beffroi (ca se fait vite car une seule salle est ouverte) bien qu'intéressant cette visite ne compte pas parmi nos coups de cœur. Ne pas songer y passer l'après-midi par exemple mais un moment agréable

(Translated by Google) Nice town center of Dreux... you can taste good dishes there and sit on the terrace for a little drink. The Belfry is a monument to visit during open days and when it is illuminated it is even prettier...

(Translated by Google) While passing through the Orléans region, I had chosen the Fairground Theater Museum, and I was not disappointed with this wonderful discovery. As soon as you enter through the Museum's courtyard, an old fairground caravan immerses you in this artistic universe. Then, as I stepped through the door, I was pleasantly transported into a marvelous world of costumes and various puppets. I highly recommend this otherworldly museum.

It was cool. We couldn't go inside as it was under construction, but fun to see. Spent about 15 minutes taking pictures.

such a beautiful place of mantes la jolie ancient chruch..

The local people said it is the sister of Notre Dame

Nice to visit when you are in the area

Sadly it is a former shell of itself after the devastating fire last month. We were still able to view some it along the river banks. Keep checking their site, it may reopen to some limited traffic.

Truly worth a visit. A magnificent organ. The exterior was damaged during WW2 and restored after.

Best organ concerts in summer with 3 big instruments!! Amazing 👍

Well-preserved drawing rooms, but relatively small collection. Unfortunately, only the first floor and the marble room on garden level are accessible. Still, the Laitière and Coquillages (about 30 min walk from castle) are extraordinary and not to miss!

Beautiful gardens to stroll all day long. The guides showed exceptional ability in providing additional direction. The chateau itself was beautiful but needed a little TLC. Not as crowed as Versailles, which makes it more family friendly. Had a great hot chocolate with whipped creme in this charming french town.

Worth visiting. If you like Versailles then you most likely would appreciate this other château and its environs.

It’s a very beautiful and big castle with huge park. Went there with friends and family. You can rent the bikes and golf car to check the park.

Beautiful chateau in a HUGE garden. Be prepared to walk long distances to see it all

From the minute we walked into the park gardens and then saw the chateau we knew we had picked a good one. The gardens were very tidy and quite large with a beautiful water feature surrounding. The outside of the Chateau is very picture postcard and inside didnt disappoint either. You only get access to the first floor and one room on the basement level. There are some beautiful floors - tiles and parquet. l;ots of interesting informationon boards to read on your way round. The local authority gave the owners some money to help with restoration but it now is in desperate need of a new roof. Anything that is given is going towards that. You can see the effects of some slight water damage on walls so I hope they manage to get this fixed before the damage becomes more extensive. We walked up to the Dauphins Dairy a separate building built for Marie Antoinette. It was OK. Not a great deal to see inside. Then we walked ujp to the shell house which was amazing. E verwhere on the walls and ceiling is covered entirely with shells of all different kinds. I thought it must have taken ages to do but apparently it was all done within a year. Would recommend a visit to this place if you are nearby. Wished Id taken a picnic!!

The grounds were nice, we didn't go in anywhere though as closed for lunch!

Well, it is not that good and not that bad. But nothing fun there, animals are sleepy/tired. Restaurants are expensive, so it is better to bring food with you. Go in the morning so you can visit the park on foot then by car at the same day. Peace!

wildlife park near Paris where you can drive through and see animals like elephants , giraffes, and rhinos up close ! There’s also a zoo, a botanical garden, and lots of fun for kids and families

The animals are stunning, and seeing them in environments that feel close to their natural habitats really made the whole experience special. 🥰 The Lion’s Den was definitely a standout. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves wildlife!

This zoo is fantastic! I would recommend visiting the park first and doing the safari afterward. Excellent for every age.

Thoiry is undoubtedly the best zoo I've ever visited! I brought along my 2-year-old and 5-year-old, and we all had an absolutely fantastic time. The hyena and lion areas stand out with tunnels that allow you to walk through their habitats under a glass covering, providing an incredible view of the animals. Thoiry offers several playgrounds and a massive rope/trampoline/climbing area that entertained all of us, including my 75-year-old mother. What's remarkable is the spacious enclosures for each animal, which are meticulously designed to replicate their local habitats, setting it apart from zoos in the US. Though we missed the drive-through experience, we explored the entire zoo and will return during our next trip to France. I highly recommend Thoiry, especially if you have kids!

I am not a big fan of zoos bit we took our 7yr old. This is a good zoo. The layout is very nice. They have a lot of interesting species that I had never seen, also tunnels through the feline enclosures. And a drive through “safari.” It’s all a bit small but very tidy, very nice. It always breaks my heart to see the gorillas bored to death. The kids games a great. The food is absolutely disgusting, bring a picnic lunch.

Beautiful day out seeing animals who looked well cared and had proper spaces cared of to live in. Lots of animals, some of them we never saw before. It is amazing to see so many of them. Lots of shadow in the zoo. Playground in the middle. Picnic tables available. We arrived at the opening and left just before the closure - plan the whole day there!! Started with walking through the zoo and finished off with the car safari - great idea as we were happy to sit down at that point!

Good place to spend the day. There is a picnic area. Lunch and snacks are available. There aren’t many animals, neither in terms of species or numbers. Price is a bit high compared to what is on offer. If you are thinking of coming back, season pass is a better bet. Cellular coverage is too bad. Be prepared to go off grid.

Mostly 'open concept' zoo. Wolves and rutting males obviously kept penned, but you can walk through a couple of areas where the (female) deer are roaming freely. You're supposed to stay to the designated walkways, so you don't generally touch them - I suppose in theory one might come close enough to touch, but you're not allowed to chase them down or go into the grassy areas, so it's not actually likely. But, it's nice to be able to see them fairly closely - we got within about a meter of a couple of them. The walking areas and viewpoints have been redone within the past year, so they're very nice. There's a wolf area, where you can watch them give a small snack to the wolves so they come up to the windows and you get some really good views. They also have a really nice raptor (bird) show that is pretty amazing to see - again, the birds get really close so you can see them very well. And there's a (very) small farm animal section, with rabbits, goats, and sheep. There's a small playground for kids 3 - 12, and a really nice suspended trampoline area (one for kids aged 3-6, one for kids/adults aged 4+) that was very fun. They also have a small train with a guided (in French, of course) visit through one of the deer area. There's a small restaurant (salads, sandwiches, and in theory pasta, though they didn't have pasta when we went), and a food truck (burgers, fries, fish and chips, chicken nuggets). The food was...meh. Coffee options (cappuccino, cafe au lait, espresso, etc.) are only through a hotel-style push-button machine. Edible if you're spending the day there. We ended up overcharged for our meals, which i didnt realize until we were already leaving, but it wasnt worth it to me to go back and argue about it. Though, they also have a picnic area, so you can bring your own food in (would likely do this in the future). We spend about 5.5 hours there (including the small train ride, which takes about 30 minutes, and costs extra on top of the entry ticket). We saw everything except the full falcon show (arrived about half-way through). Feel like we were able tonsee everything in that amount of time. We were staying at the Huttopia campground, which is about a 30-40 minute pleasant walk through the woods. Mostly flat, through predominantly unpaved (unless you walk along the etang, then it's half-paved). If the weather is rainy, it WILL be muddy, so be aware.

Beautiful park to see birds of prey and animals with a must see bird show. Great educational features for children. Shame about the screaming school kids on the day we went. Pity the Canadian wolves in the new enclosure were traumatised by the loud children - should be a zone of silence.

Amazing birdshow and a cool wolfpack. Impressive how close the birds flying by, even the really big ones. My kids and I were really flashed. The big trampoline area is also really cool. The rest of the park is so-so. Really nice Forrest in a beautiful landscape but we couldn't barley see any deers. Would visit again.

The forest is quite nice, with a lot of deers. We didn’t see other animals. The trampoline parc is medium size and kids at different ages. I sprained my ankle and I will spend the next month in bed. The price of the ticket is big for a walk in the forest and trampoline. I could see the bird show because of my accident with the ankle . The annual pass may worth the money.

The bird show is really impressive. The show alone is worth the entrance ( 15€ per adult ). There are boars and elks in the forest. At the end, there are some treehouses.

Beautiful reserve with a wonderful forest you can hike through and really well treated animals. Really special place!

Good place to shop their. We really enjoyed our Time and bought a lot of cheap cloth

Great little outlet, with a good range of options. Be careful not to get caught out in bad weather though, as it's not well covered from the elements. Good music playing from the speakers, and yummy restaurants to catch some food between shopping.

Great place to spend an afternoon. The outlets are not real outlets in the sense that they have deals. They are just called outlets. Food selection is great, and there are some pretty cool brands represented. Good accessibility, plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. If you are passing by, great for a pit stop

a type of outlet stores, nice place not that crowded, was there at end of march

Good place just outside Paris, with many brands. Plenty of free parking. Good to spend few hours shopping.

Nice outlet shopping mall with great brands and real discounts on the base price. You find there both luxury brands and sports outlet like adidas and nike. Easy parking, close to the highway exit. You also find there what yo have lunch and coffee break.

Little far but place is super cool … if va kids then take snacks or lunch for them …

An amazing place of history with wax work figures to give you that added immersion to the events that once was. Gardens are well kept and has to lakes situated at the rear. Make sure your walking shoes are on though. Its a steep downcline and you have to come back up at some point.

American Review - Ok so... planned to take my friend to this chateau and had no idea it was a fairy tale chateau geared mostly towards kids. It was still a nice time, and I saw that they offer an escape room and tour and such so there is plenty to do there. However, I'd probably suggest this more for those who have children. I pre-purchased my tickets online at their website. There was a playground, themed building with interactive displays and animatrons, gardens, hedge maze, etc.

Beautiful place and the gardens feel truly magical. The labyrinth and the fairytale themed rooms make it a wonderful and enchanting trip. Highly recommended for kids

I never heard of this castle until today but it is beautiful, even in winter. There's a ton of history here, all explained by a guided tour with actual knowledge of the place. In winter it will be the castle itself that you want to see, in summer I imagine walking for hours in the gardens. Playground, very clean toilets, splendid views, picnic areas, it's all here.

A bit of a ride out of town, worth calling in ahead to ask about available tour times and see how busy the place is. Tends to get school trips which can make the place busy. You have a choice to do grounds or guided tour also. Would have been nice to know all the fairy tail story telling and the tour is in French. Plenty of parking outside and big enough for buses also. Place is privately owned and kept up well.

The antithesis to our recent visit of Versilles!! Friendly & quiet, peaceful beautiful gardens, helpful & interesting guides & a real sense of a family residence open to the public. We were lucky & did meet the Marquis who gave us some history about the Chateau during our tour & then we chatted to him after our visit. A real thoughtful effort has been put into entertaining children, who would no doubt be bored by the tour very quickly otherwise. I found the early refrigeration system particulary interesting in the kitchen!! I got a real sense of the history of the place from the furniture & artifacts which are genuine to the Chateau itself, often unlike in other places, which are an assembly of disparate period pieces. So glad we stumbled across this visit :)

Great chateau. Masses of items of furniture and painting on display in beautiful condition and unusual ones some of which I have shown in my photos. There are collections such as the very beautiful butterflies shown. There are tableau and fairy stories portrayed. The garden has some formal settings as well as parkland which is good to stroll around. I almost forgot look out for the goats in the moat!

This is a weirdly huge theater in what appears to be the middle of nowhere but! Good amount of screening rooms, nice sized screens. Lots of restaurants nearby and all the necessary snacks inside the theater. What's not to like. I live in Versailles and this is the closest alternative to the UGC at Les Halles where I used to go. Also, it draws nice sized crowds for hyped movies/blockbusters so you can still see a highly anticipated film and get that Big Audience Energy. Would not recommend trying to get here with public transport, however. It really is in the middle of nowhere and you'll end up 20 minutes late to your screening

Do not go there when it's above 26°C. IT IS HOT, they DO NOT HAVE AIR Conditioning. I was literally melting off my chair, while there were like 5-10 people max in the room, would NOT recommend during summer.

Comfortable seats, original version of films on almost every movies

The hot chocolate lacked flavor and sweetness and was more like chocolate tea. The escalator was broken. The movie itself was good though.

Nice service. Clean seats big screen. Nice atmosphere

Great cenima, we had a lot of fun watching the spider-man movie, nice people working there as well.

Good choice of films, open and clean but I don't like having my drink and my kids sweets confiscated.

Really great place to visit with activities for all ages. There is a small amusement park next to the main entrance with rides for children as young as 1 along with bouncy castles. Further in you have pedalos, high ropes course, a beach which is open during the summer months, and so many other activities - the place is huge. In high season the parking is 7€. There are also spaces for picnics and designated barbecue areas. Yes it can be busy in the summer and at weekends but it is still enjoyable. We go often and love it!

The place was supper beautiful ! Clean and not over crowded . I loved the rafting experience i would have appreciated that the Life guard explained more about the méthode because it was our first Time but overall it was good

“Île de loisirs de Cergy-Pontoise offers a fantastic variety of activities across its 250 hectares—from water sports like kayaking, rafting, and wakeboarding, to adventure zones like accrobranche and mini-golf—there’s something for everyone. The free access to the green spaces and the scenic walks (especially the 5 km loop and the link to Axe Majeur) are perfect for family outings or casual strolls

It’s a great experience for the family and friends who loves adventure. And it’s just near Paris.

Sandy beaches on the lake. Water clean and not deep, lifeguards keeping watch. Seperate fenced area for young children. Good value, especially if you're staying all day.

The beach is not for everyone...crowded of people and families. You feel the water not clean because it is plenty of kids and they make pee in the water. I saw kids doing pee. The rest of activities around looks nice and interesting to do it. Be ready for the queue to go into the parking 6€ the full day and longer queues in the afternoon. Free parking for the motos and no queue, you can overtake easily.

Awesome place to spend with your family or friends and + you can make barbecue 🍖 Just you need to walk a lot with bags of food

Extremely underwhelming. No or very few original art. Garden’s don’t seem to be that well taken care of. All for the price of 12€ seems extreme for your return. Also the chateau is bare. Also no furniture or original decor, more of a museum of “what if” purely based on Van Gogh without any original story of why the chateau is there, its importance, and who owned it.

Nice Chateau and it's gardens so you can visit them free of charge. Visited Van Gogh exhibition which was interesting and informative. I found out about his last months and days. There is a little shop and restaurant on site as well as free lockers for your bags.

A lovely château to visit while in the area. You can walk around the palace grounds and gardens for free while you admire the views of the surrounding valley and city. I didn't do anything in château but still greatly enjoyed the palace just from the grounds alone.

The price of 14 euros (visit+audioguide) is steep, especially considering that all the relevant paintings are facsimilés. The audioguide is required in order to properly follow the visit, but again it does not render the experience any better than reading free wikipedia articles with google images.

Small and beautiful town, you can reach it by train and cars, the castle is not so big, but it contains a good museum which shows you the story of artists of that town. But the most beautiful thing that I like it so much is the library of the train station, yaaay I will visit that library in the future I'm sure 😉

Fun museum and nice castle! The museum is one big audiotour with different rooms. There is in every room a projected video where you can sit down and listen to the life of multiple impressionist artists.

It's a petit mais beau chateau at Auvers sur Oise. Located right in the way from musée d'absinthe (or maison de van gogh/his tomb or the church or maison daubigny, etc.) to maison du docteur Gachet. We made a nice little stop on the way. Entry to the park is free but inside the chateau is paid. There's parking and a restaurant called "Le Nymphe" right behind the main structure of the chateau. There are gardens on 3-4 levels, one you have the porch right at the level of the chateau from where you get a great view of the jardin à le français below and the entire village along with the hills beyond. Steps lead down from the jardin à le français to what initially seems like just a small fountain surrounded by trees however there are are some small lawns behind. In front of this lawn is the entrance to the exhibition areas or the Orangerie. However, I didn't see them as we had other spots to look at! There are other tree-lined paths lined horizontally in the plane of the chateau. Overall it's a pretty place to chill and relax, the view from the jardin right outside the main building is very beautiful. We also had our lunch picnic in the lawns at the lowest level.

As Van Gogh fan you have to go there to see where he spent his last days. There is a little shop on site and the guide girls are very nice and delivering Van Gogh story with humour and sensitivity. After seeing his little room there is short film about his life in Auvers sur Oise. His room is upstairs and downstairs is a restaurant which stayed unchanged from his time. Must see. Ticket costs 10€

This is where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life paining 74 pieces of art. Ticket is 10 euros and no picture allowed. Only guided tour is available either French or English. I enjoyed it but said how he ended his life.

Absolutely worth it, even if you are not a van Gogh fan... It was so interesting the see his room, where he used to hang his paintings to dry and even the place where he used to go to eat everyday at the inn! I will definitely try to go there again! Thank you! Also, the guide was wonderful, she was very knowledgeable and kind, Merci!

We visited the house on an empty weekend. It is not possible to take pictures of the room space because it is not allowed. Admission ticket will include a guide (you can choose English or French). Each tour will last about 30 minutes so we hear about the history and a short film. The ticket comes with a pretty postcard, and underneath the house is a cafe that's been in business since Van Gogh lived there.

Definitely a must visit for those who are interested in Van Gogh’s life. Very good English speaking guide who had a lot of interesting (sad) stories. We were lucky that the 2022 season was extended for one extra month.

Having lunch at Auberge Ravoux – Maison de Van Gogh was a truly special experience. Sitting in the very room where Van Gogh lived and took his meals brings an incredible sense of connection to history and art. The lunch itself was wonderful — everything was homemade, from the delicious charcuterie to the beautifully prepared deserts that highlight local ingredients. There’s a sincerity and authenticity to the food that perfectly matches the soul of the place. It's rare to find a setting where history, atmosphere, and cuisine come together so perfectly. A deeply memorable moment — I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We arrived shortly before our reserved time and the group tour was full so I recommend getting tickets in advance. The guide was kind and informative. We enjoyed seeing the room and the gift shop was very well stocked.

There is a certain attempt to block the scenes Van Gogh painted. This local government has put non-sense blocking panels in front of the church and in front of the "roots". There are many empty facades around the church, you can put this irrelevant painting on any of them, but no. They put it on the very exact angle the artist painted the church. This mayor should stop her sick Van Gogh hatred. You are ruining the experience of many art lovers travelling for hours just to see this village for Van Gogh.

Such an amazing architecture. Probably one of the famous sites in auvers because of Van Gogh's painting. Definitely worth the visit, better to do a bike or hiking tour in Auvers and this is a must visit.

The church made famous by Van Gogh. Fairly typical of its period, it's rather pretty but no more so than many other churches. However, the painting changes everything. Unfortunately, it's not in the best condition. From the interior, the church tower looks to have been shored up to strengthen it.

It is a nice church with a nice view. Inside you will find nice paintings. The original painting by Van Gogh can be discovered in Paris

A beautiful church in a wonderful town. This is probably one of the most famous churches of the world, painted by Vincent van Gogh. The

Worth the visit. You can stand at a spot where Van gogh was standing when he painted the church and wonder how he would have felt if his paintings would be loved by billions of people around the globe.

Beautiful window glases and decoration. Big church in small vilage.

Auvers-sur-Oise cemetery is a typical but, with one exception, an unremarkable French communal cemetery. That exception is, of course, that it is the final resting place of Vincent van Gogh and his brother Théo. There are several other artists buried here, but the majority of people only visit for van Gogh. British visitors may also be interested to see the graves of three airman, killed during the second world war when their plane crashed near Auvers. There is also one lone Australian soldier from the Great War.

Beautiful cemetery, on a hill in Auvers-sur-Oise. Here you'll find the graves of Vincent and Theo van Gogh. Just a few graves to the right from there you'll find the grave of Corneille. It's nice and quiet upthere.

The final resting place of Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theodore Van Gogh among others well known people in the town.

Oct 2014--My wife and I stayed in Paris for 5 nights and took day trips from our B&B Cote Montmartre on Rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle in Montmartre district. One of our trips was from Gare St. Lazare connecting in Pontoise, arriving in Auvers sur Oise at mid-AM. We ate brunch across from the station and walked past the church to the cimetiere exclusively to see Van Gogh's grave. Before entry, one can see the fields to the west and south of the cimetiere which were featured in Vincent's last paintings. One can also walk through those fields from the cimetiere back to town. Highly recommended. Our visit was made more special by visiting Musee d'Orsay with the Impressionist exhibit, featuring the works of Van Gogh, before we day tripped to Auvers. but, we love impressionism and most especially Van Gogh's works and his personal history.

Looks like all that is left after death is ,,Ici repose ‘’ , name and years . But no. At least not after Van Gog.

Beautiful sky and the moment when I found the graves of Vincent and Theo Van Gogh.

So sad

Highly recommended for architecture enthusiasts—this is one of Frank Gehry’s most iconic works. The building itself is a masterpiece, blending bold design with natural light and sweeping curves. Booking tickets online is a smart move to avoid long queues

The building is so pretty and modern! They also have a dedicated bus to take visitors there making easy to go, entrance was fast, there is plenty to see. If I may suggest some things to improve is to expose a bigger variety of artists, and keep the cafe open until the place closes.

This week was my fifth visit to this beautiful Louis Vuitton foundation. The exhibitions I've seen here include the Morozov brothers' art collection, Simon Hantaï (+fugues in color), Basquiat × Warhol, David Hokney, and now Gerhard Richter. (I regret not being there when there was a Mark Rothko exhibition.) The building itself, designed by Frank Gehry, is a work of art itself. I recommend everyone to visit this museum when there's an exhibition, as they've never disappointed me. I'm studying conservation and restoration, and I have to admit that the exhibitions they put on here are incredibly impressive. They feature artworks from all over the world, a compelling narrative with clear explanations, and a very comprehensive selection of art from the artist(s)/collection currently on display. I recommend buying a ticket online in advance, as it is simply convenient.

Interesting place to visit. We came here by accident when walking about Paris and was pleasantly surprised we arrived when tickets were discounted due to there being no exhibitions on which in all honesty I preferred so we paid 5 euro entry. Didn't take long to walk around and check out the building and it's internal water feature, and a walk to the top with some not to great views of Paris city unfortunately the architecture hides any decent view of Paris full stop. Used the loo there, one or two things to do inside Inc VR experience but that's about it. I enjoyed the visit, not into big fashion really but still an interesting experience. The ticket guys were nice and friendly explaining everything before we purchased tickets ensuring we were ready expectations wise as there were no events on at the time of my visit.

It is an art museum and cultural center designed by architect Frank Gehry and opened in October 2014. The initiator of its creation was Bernard Arnault, the head of the LVMH group, who, after visiting the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in 2001, suggested that Gehry build a chic Art Nouveau center. The project was officially announced in 2006, and construction was carried out from 2008 to 2014 on the territory of the Bois de Boulogne, on a site leased from the city of Paris for 55 years. The building is made in the deconstructivist style and consists of two main elements: the so-called "iceberg", formed by blocks of white ultra-strong concrete, and twelve giant glass "sails" with a total area of 13,500 m2, which seem to wrap around it. To implement this complex project, advanced 3D modeling technologies were used at that time, and each of the 3,600 glass and 19,000 concrete panels had to be manufactured individually. The 7,000 m2 building houses 11 exhibition galleries, 350-seat classrooms, a restaurant and multi-level terraces with views of the Eiffel Tower and La Defense Towers. The Foundation promotes contemporary art by presenting works from its own collection by Bernard Arnault and LVMH, as well as organizing large temporary exhibitions.

Paid visit twice during my stay in Paris for 2025 David Hockney. It totally worth it. The first time was with a colleague of mine and we did not have enough time to appreciate all the work. Second time I went alone on the last day of the exhibition. Really loved everything of this exhibition. Best one of all the museums I'd visited in Paris. First I got to know David from a Chinese celebrity Li Dan in his livestream. Then grew in love with his work, especially seeing them with my own eyes. Reservation was so hard but understandable considering how popular it is. Did not get any souvenirs though, except a LVMH tote, and some David Hockney postcards.

The art and the building itself are wonderful to see! The place is huge — much bigger than I imagined — and it’s such an enjoyable space to walk around. I spent about two hours exploring and still didn’t manage to see all the paintings. I wore heels, which I quickly realized wasn’t the best idea — I’d definitely recommend wearing something more comfortable next time since the venue is quite large!

Amazing place in france, you can take a stroll in the park and see a numerous species of animals, which some of you can feed too... Definitely worth a visit...

Great park. Kids loved the farm and animals.

Good. Many animals, playground, picnic area.

Quiet with many trees 🌳 and animals

Ok

We visited in July 2023 with three kids 7 to 10. Staff was very welcoming. When the session starts, there is a safety briefing and short training in french. Staff offered to translate it in English for us. Staff helpful during the session if any help is needed. Loads of different climbing walls of various difficulties. It was busy, but kids didn't have to queue much at all. Will go again

Top!

Great place for a birthday party (10 years old) !

Russian and French cultures are similar and connected over centuries. Hope this connection will continue and we ( Russians) genetically love and resonate with French culture

Russian cemetery

(Translated by Google) Cemetery to absolutely visit. Wander the aisles and come across well-known graves... beautiful church but only open during ceremonies. Future dancers pray to Nooreev and lay down slippers to obtain a pardon for their dance exams. (Original) Cimetière à visiter absolument. Se balader dans les allées et tomber sur des sépultures connues... belle église mais ouverte que pendant les cérémonies. Les futurs danseurs prient Nooreev et déposent des chaussons pour obtenir une grâce pour leur examens de danse.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful cemetery, personalities rest in this place of greenery and contemplation. Prefer a visit with a guide, who will tell you about the lives behind the tombs. Beautiful little Orthodox church. (Original) Très beau cimetière, des personnalités reposent dans cet endroit de verdure et de recueillement. Préférer une visite avec un guide, qui saura vous raconter les vies derrières les tombes. Belle petite église orthodoxe.

(Translated by Google) I've been planning to get to this place for a long time. It's literally filled with history, with every step, with every meter, with the people who once lived and believed in returning to the homeland they still remembered, but which had long since ceased to be the same. The graves of Tarkovsky, the Yusupovs, Rudolf Nureyev, Benois, and Bunin are a must-see. The cemetery is quite compact and well-organized for a stroll. (Original) Давно я планировала добраться до этого места. Оно наполнено буквально с каждый шагом, с каждым метром большой историей, людей которые когда то жили и верили, что вернуться на Родину, которую они еще помнили, но которая уже давно была не той, что в их памяти. Обязательно к посещению могилы Тарковского, Юсуповых, Рудольфа Нуриева, Бенуа, Бунина. Кладбище довольно компактное, хорошо организовано для прогулки

(Translated by Google) I have been dreaming of visiting this cemetery for 35 years! And here I am! Such a calm and peaceful place. I spent several hours wandering around this cemetery. Yes, there are different graves, unfortunately, some of them are in a deplorable state, especially those located in the oldest part. The monuments are unique. With beautiful inscriptions, epitaphs. Can I say this, but it did not disappoint me. Everything was as I imagined and as described in the song. The church is amazing. I also want to share how to get to this cemetery. The metro (RER) goes to Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. In July 2025, bus 4511 goes. It runs twice an hour. The trip takes 15 minutes. Then walk 2 minutes. I will send a photo of the RER trains to those stations that pass Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. And a photo of the bus that goes to the cemetery. (Original) 35 лет я мечтала попасть на это кладбище! И вот я здесь! Такое спокойное и умиротворённое место. Несколько часов я потратила на то, что-бы побродить по этому погосту. Да, есть разные могилы, к сожалению, некоторые из них в плачевном состоянии, особенно те, что находятся на самой старой её части. Памятники уникальные. С красивыми подписями, эпитафиями. Можно ли так говорить, но оно меня не разочаровало. Всё было так, как я себе представляла и как описано в песне. Церковка - потрясающая. Ещё хочу поделиться тем, как ехать в этому кладбищу. До Сент Женевьев де Буа ходит метро (RER). На 2025 год июль месяц ходит автобус 4511. Он ходит 2 раза в час. Поездка занимает 15 минут. Далее пешком 2 минуты. Я скину фото RER электричек, до тех станций, которые проезжают Сент Женевьев де Буа. И фото автобуса, которое идёт к кладбищу.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful cemetery for a guaranteed change of scenery. As soon as you cross the entrance it is Russia and the place is conducive to peace. A peaceful place in a large garden to take a leisurely stroll in a haven of greenery. People known in the world of dance such as Rudolf Nureyev and Serge Lifar are buried in this cemetery of Sainte Geneviève des Bois. (Original) Un très beau cimetière pour un dépaysement garanti. Dès que l'on franchi l'entrée c'est la Russie et l'endroit est propice à la paix. Un lieu paisible dans un grand jardin pour se promener tranquillement dans un havre de verdure. Des personnes connues dans le monde de la danse tel que Rudolf Noureev et Serge Lifar sont enterrés dans ce cimetière de Sainte Geneviève des Bois.

So much fun. Did the pirate room and had a blast

Top !

Cool

Correct

(Translated by Google) Originally from Aube, and on a weekend with friends, for my second time in an escape game, it's terrible! We even made a second room, so as not to get left behind! ^^ Without any problem I would drive 1h15 to get back there. We had an excellent time! Very well accompanied! The decor is sublime, realistic! I recommend the autopsy room and Amazon ;) see you soon! (Original) Originaire de l'Aube, et en weekend chez des amis, pour ma seconde fois dans un escape game, c'est terrible ! On a même fais une seconde salle, pour ne pas rester sur notre fin ! ^^ Sans problème je ferais 1h15 de route pour y retourner. On a passé des moments excellent ! Très bien accompagné ! Le décor est sublimissime, réaliste ! Je vous conseille la salle autopsie et Amazon ;) a bientôt !

(Translated by Google) Very nice experience! I had already had the opportunity to do escape games before. The autopsy panel is indeed very complicated to carry out. With 1% success we quickly understand the complexity of the thing. But the atmosphere and teamwork are there! Good luck for the room in any case 😊 (Original) Très belle expérience ! J'avais déjà eu l'occassion de faire des escapes games avant. La dalle autopsie est en effet très compliquée à réaliser. Avec 1% de réussite on comprend rapidement la complexité de la chose. Mais l'ambiance et le jeu d'équipe sont au rendez vous ! Bonne chance pour la salle en tous cas 😊

One of the most interactive and accessible museums I have ever visited: and the fun activities are not exclusively reserved to children! The display was pretty respectful of the original cultures in my opinion, and it opened my mind a lot. Of course I believe works of art should be displayed in their rightful countries, but, in the meantime, this is as good as it gets. The garden is stunning, too! Accessible features: lots of elevators, no steps at all, tactile and phonic route for visually impaired people, tactile map of the building Other features I liked: storytelling guide, creative space for drawing/colouring/making origami, reading room with lots of wonderful books in a wide range of genres and target ages (Which might double as a quiet room for those with sensory issues, albeit not specifically designed for that), wonderful personnel

Nice museum near the Eiffel Tower. We went there for an exhibition on the diversity of art objects in Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and Oceania. The museum is surrounded by a pretty garden with a view of the tower. You can also stop by for a coffee.

This a quirky little museum with a huge garden entry and a strange collection of artifacts. We wanted to see the crystal skull they had in their collection but it is only visible online. I couldn't help but notice a recurring theme of what seemed to me to be evidence of "Off world" visitors in their collection. You be the judge. We had the Paris Musuem pass so it was fun to check out and really close to our hotel.

This museum has no renowned fame like the Louvre or Orsay but it's totally worth the visit if you are in Paris. The building is very modern and faces the Seine with wonderful views from the rooftop. There are many art exhibitions from all the continents except Europe, with objects that are unique and you may not appreciate anywhere else. If you are curious about world history and culture, this is a great museum to explore. Also, if you go with children they will enjoy it very much.

Fabulous museum positioned in a garden. I visged the 'Golden Thread' exhibition, which was both informative and extensive. Good cafe, with excellent menu, service and views.

Lovers of textile arts, come and visit the exhibition “Au fil de l’or” held at the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac from February 11 to July 6, 2025. It offers a fascinating journey from North Africa to Japan, exploring the millennia-old use of gold in textile arts. You’ll be able to admire the beauty, diversity, and richness of garments from regions such as the Maghreb, the Middle East, India, China, and Japan. Guided tours of the exhibition are available, offering a deeper understanding of the works on display. These tours provide an enriching perspective on the history of gold in textile arts.

A great museum learning about different cultures from hundreds of years ago from different parts of the world. The displays are very easy to see and to walk through them. Presentation is great, totally worth visiting while in Paris.

【Quick Summary】A spectacular view of Paris at night! The illuminated Arc de Triomphe and the sparkling Eiffel Tower view from the top are absolutely breathtaking. 【Purpose of Visit】Perfect for an evening visit, especially for night view appreciation, right after checking in on your arrival day. ✅ Experience (Highlights) After a flight from Tokyo, we checked into the hotel around 4 PM and headed straight to the iconic Arc de Triomphe. * ✅ The View from the Arc: While the illuminated Arc de Triomphe itself is grand and full of charm, **the Eiffel Tower's sparkle illumination (Champagne Flash) seen clearly from the top of the Arc is truly unmissable.** * By visiting during the transition from dusk to night, we enjoyed a complete panorama: the grandeur of the Arc, the lights along the Champs-Élysées, and the dazzling sparkle of the Eiffel Tower. * ✅ Final Impression: I believe everyone who witnesses this view will fall in love with Paris. It was a magical moment—the highlight of a perfect Parisian evening.

An iconic monument that beautifully captures the spirit and history of France! 🇫🇷 The Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806, honors those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The intricate carvings and sculptures are stunning, and the eternal flame beneath it pays tribute to the Unknown Soldier — a deeply moving sight. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking, offering a perfect 360° view of Paris and the Champs-Élysées. Visit around sunset to see the city glow and the Eiffel Tower sparkle — truly unforgettable! ✨

The Arc de Triomphe is one of Paris’s most iconic monuments — bold, majestic, and deeply symbolic. Standing at the top of the Champs-Élysées, it commands attention from every angle, perfectly aligned with the avenue and the city’s twelve radiating boulevards. Built on the orders of Napoleon I to honor the French armies, the arch carries incredible detail — from sculpted victories to engraved names of generals and battles. Seeing it up close, you realize how massive it really is, far larger and more imposing than photos suggest. I visited recently, and the experience was unforgettable. The monument stands proudly at the Place Charles de Gaulle, surrounded by a never-ending swirl of traffic, yet it somehow feels peaceful once you step onto the pedestrian walkway beneath it. You can climb to the top terrace (about 280 steps), and the view is absolutely worth it — the Eiffel Tower, La Défense, and the Champs-Élysées stretch out in perfect symmetry. If you time it around sunset, Paris glows golden, and the city truly feels eternal. “A symbol of victory, memory, and beauty — standing atop the Arc de Triomphe feels like standing at the heart of Paris itself.”

What's not to love. It's an incredible landmark and more beautiful than I imagined. Make sure to take pictures not just close up but farther away as well. If you are trying to figure out where to stay, I would recommend staying near the arc instead of near the Eiffel Tower.

I visited the observatory in spring, summer, autumn and winter because the colours around the Arc de Triomphe change with each season, and they are beautiful. The view is also different by day and by night; while the Eiffel Tower offers a lovely panorama, the Champs-Élysées seen from here, especially at night, is even more striking and well worth the climb. Most people do not take the lift but climb the very narrow circular stone staircase, so those with mobility issues or the elderly should use the lift instead. Tickets must be purchased in advance for your preferred time slot on the official website. The staff at the ticket desk are very friendly, so if you need assistance, simply queue and they will be glad to help.

One of the most iconic and must-visit landmarks in Paris, located near Charles de Gaulle–Étoile station. From this point, twelve grand avenues radiate outward, with the world-famous Champs-Élysées being one of them, leading all the way to Place de la Concorde. The area is rich in history and architectural beauty, offering stunning views and plenty of photo opportunities. It’s a wonderful place to take a leisurely walk, enjoy the lively Parisian atmosphere, and admire the surrounding cafés, shops, and monuments. A visit here is truly a classic Paris experience!

Just visited the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris and I'm still pinching myself! This monumental arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to honor his Grande Armée and was finally completed in 1836. The monument's sheer grandeur and historical significance left me in awe. The views from the top are breathtaking, with the City of Light stretching out in every direction. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the eternal flame add a poignant touch to this symbol of French national pride. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Paris!

It is a must visit place in Paris, and it end (or begins) at the Arc de Triumphant. I highly recommend visiting the Arc then walk at the avenue. This way you won’t be going up hill.

Nice place with lots of people taking pictures but you have to be careful when crossing the road

Plenty of food, luxury brands stores, galleries, restaurants and... People!! Nice but too crowded. In opinion, there are better, nicer and more glamourous boulevards (like haussman or near la place ve done)

Most beautiful and attractive area of Paris where brands enjoys and beauties fly

Fancy street where a visit to any store on here is going to cost you at least a 1000 euros. Listed in the "lovely places to take your wife if you win the lottery."

Fabulous place. So much to see.

Beautiful Avenue during holidays. A major thoroughfare connected the Arc of the Triomphe at one end and Place de la Concorde at the other end. It is always bustling with cars and people all year around. Many store fronts lined up both sides of the avenue including famous Louis Vuitton store front with line of shoppers.

I have to be honest: my visit to the Grand Palais felt like a mixed bag, leaning more toward disappointment than delight. The standout highlight was without question the live drumming performance—absolutely fantastic, vibrant, and full of energy. That, along with the impressive central artwork, gave a glimpse of the grandeur the place could offer. But beyond that, everything else felt lackluster, as if the substance didn’t quite live up to the name. It’s ironic, really—called “Grand” Palais, but in truth is, Petit Palais offers so much more. Petit Palais is richer, more expansive, and bursting with art and history, while the Grand Palais felt strangely hollow in comparison. There wasn’t even much of a contest between the two. Honestly, I ended up here mostly by accident—either because it was right in front of me at the subway exit or because I got a little lost. Would I put it high on a must-see list? Not really. Still, I can say I enjoyed the brief visit for what it was: a chance to stumble into something unexpected. Sometimes travel is about these random encounters, even if they don’t leave a lasting impression.

This is one of those buildings that you have to visit even if you only have a little bit of time in Paris. I was here at the Art Basel so I could only see the inside with the stands, but it was pretty exciting that way as well. If you are near the Grand Palais you should check the Alexander III bridge out as well. Fun Fact: The fencing event of the 2024 Olympics washes held here.

What a truly stunning building the Grand Palais is and recently restored too! The roof is a masterpiece in its own right, then the statutes / ornate details outside add even more beauty. In the evening when the glass is lit up then it’s even more wonderful. We didn’t go inside due to time constraints but will definitely be heading on our next visit to Paris.

On our recent trip to Paris, we went to the Euphoria Balloon Exhibition (closed on Sept. 7, 2025). It was phenomenal and if they ever do another one, I would highly recommend going. It’s great for both kids and adults. Also, the price was very reasonable at €16 per adult. Watch the videos to get a sense of scale and interactivity. We went on a Tuesday right when it opened and it wasn’t too crowded so, you could really enjoy the space and take your time interacting with each installation. The Grand Palais is a beautiful building and represents some of the best in Parisian architecture. I’ll definitely go back for other exhibits.

I visited Grand Palais during the Paris Photo 2025. It was fabulous and very inspiring. It was a bit hot inside and the ques we too long, especially for the lounge and bathrooms. But I'm not sure if that can be done differently when thousands of people are attending the international photo festival.

The Grand Palais was built for the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in 1900. The Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais (entrance from the back) are the sections used for major temporary art exhibitions and cultural events. In the west wing, there is the Palais de la Découverte, a science museum. The large central nave under the glass roof is often used for large scale installations, fairs, fashion shows, and special exhibitions.

Breathtaking iconic structure from 1900 with glass and steel roof shaped like a flower. You can see the top of it from many places in Paris. Free to enter. Some exhibits are free, and some have a fee to enter but you can skip them if not interested and just marvel at being in this space.

Delicious museum-mansion with a garden and a restaurant to enjoy a meal, tea, whatever you want. Exhibits are interesting and the interior of the house is precious, majestic and spotless. Unlike other museums in Paris, it's not crowded, you can walk around in silence. The boutique it's well arranged, very elegant. There is a nice terrace in the garden. Some days there are jazz events.

Musée Jacquemart-André is, without doubt, my favorite museum in Paris. The mansion itself is stunning, with its grand staircase, elegant salons, and the feeling of stepping back into refined 19th-century Parisian life. The permanent collection is impressive, blending fine art with decorative pieces in a way that feels intimate and personal. I visited during the special exhibition of Georges de La Tour, and it was absolutely captivating — beautifully curated and deeply moving. A museum that combines beauty, history, and atmosphere so perfectly deserves every recommendation.

Beautiful, easy to visit museum with a lovely family collection. There are queues both with tickets and without. I enjoyed the special exhibition of works George's de la Tour and his followers.

There is a nice restaurant attached to the museum, which serves breakfast from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and lunch and dinner until 8 p.m. The downside is that the freshly squeezed juice was slightly diluted with water. The water used for making tea was at a low temperature, which is not suitable for making black tea. Otherwise, the service at the restaurant is good, and the desserts are also enjoyable.

A petite bijoux museum. Double the pleasure when there is a special exhibition on as the museum in itself – a late 19th century hôtel particulier (private noble residence) – is an historic landmark and treasure chest of furniture and artworks. Incredible setting, set back in a gardened courtyard (cour) off busy Boulevard Haussmann. Allow at least 2 hours to visit and wallow a bit in the atmosphere and art.

Incredible museum ! The entire house is a museum, a lovely place with the history of this coupe passionate with art. This house transformed into a museum IS a piece art ! We went for for La Tour exhibition and it was stunning. Too many people but worth it ! Up until next time !

Incredible Museum, stunning architecture! The current Georges De La Tour exhibition is a must! (stayed in line for one hour so strongly recommend buying the ticket in advance)

Walking across the Pont Alexandre III is an experience that feels less like crossing a river and more like strolling through a piece of art. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful bridge in Paris. The sheer opulence is staggering—from the detailed bronze sculptures of nymphs and cherubs to the magnificent, gold-gilded statues atop the four massive pillars. Every detail is a photo opportunity. It connects the Grand Palais and Petit Palais on one side to Les Invalides on the other, meaning the views in both directions are spectacular. It offers an unmissable vista of the Eiffel Tower, making it a perfect spot for sunset. It’s less of a utilitarian crossing and more of an essential Parisian landmark to savor slowly.

Oh this had been on my travel wishlist and it is a very beautiful bridge and I highly recommend seeing. We walked past and over it and it's great for running. Very lovely veiws too.

One of those Parisian icons you just can’t miss. Paris in a crazy sense is a frustrating city because every time you turn your head, you see something more beautiful than next thing. But then all of that is dominated by the Eiffel Tower. But this bridge is a close rival. Every time we cross it, we see something new.

One of the most beautiful bridges in Paris — richly decorated with golden statues, ornate lamps, and breathtaking views of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, and Les Invalides. Both by day and at night, it’s a magical place for a stroll and perfect for photos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A must-see Paris landmark full of charm and elegance.

This bridge is pure theatre. Built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, it is decorated with gold statues, ornate lamps, and sculptures that look like opera props. It is also one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower in the entire city. The contrast of the gold details against the blue-grey Seine is breathtaking. If you go for photos, go during golden hour or at night when everything is lit up. Stunning spot.

The Pont Alexandre III is one of the most beautiful and elegant bridges in Paris. Its stunning architecture, golden statues, and detailed lamps make it a true masterpiece—especially magical at sunset or when lit up at night. It also offers amazing views of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, and Les Invalides. A must-see spot for a stroll or photos during your visit to Paris.

Pont Alexandre III is actually quite far from the Eiffel Tower, and if the sun is on the opposite side, your photos will look grey and flat. For me, it wasn’t the best spot for Eiffel Tower pictures. The bridge itself is beautiful though — especially the chocolate-colored railings, which are really elegant. But as a photo spot with the Eiffel Tower, it’s not as impressive as people expect.

A free jewel to get in! This Museum is a spectacular place to visit, is very impressive from the golden ornate gate to the cafe and gardens in the back ! Is worthy to visit to admire the Sculptures and paintings… all these wonderful place was built for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris! Beautiful Art Decorative examples from 1900

• Architectural gem: The building itself, designed by Charles Girault for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, is celebrated for its ornate Beaux-Arts style, grand façade, domes and interior courtyard.  • Free entry (permanent collection): One of the more accessible major museums in Paris — the permanent collection in the Petit Palais is free, making it a very good value stop.  • High-quality art collection: The museum houses works by significant artists (e.g., Paul Cézanne, Gustave Courbet) plus decorative arts, sculpture, and objects spanning antiquity through the 19th century.  • Pleasant environment: Reviewers frequently mention that it feels less crowded than the major tourist museums, with a restful internal garden and a welcoming atmosphere. 

Loved this at museum! The building architecture is spectacular. It's free, they also have a Monet on display with some modern art as well. They have a mix of paintings, artifacts, and statues. Statues were lovely to see in beautiful light, and prices were nicely laid out so it didn't seem too overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Discovered Le Grand Palais was closed undergoing renovations. The security guard recommended Petit Palais located directly across the boulevard. Thank you for your recommendation monsieur. Personally, I loved the ensemble of French paintings and sculptures housed in the Petit Palais. In my personal opinion, a fantastic collection of French art by French artists. The collection spans from the late 19th through the early 20th centuries. What made my visit even more memorable was that Petit Palais was free of large crowds. This allowed me and others the opportunity to take our time to enjoy these magnificent works of art. All beautifully housed in a Beaux Arts architectural masterpiece.

Perfect opportunity in Paris to visit a free museum. The works are introduced by art paintings and interior furniture as historical part of the palace. It has several big halls describing different period of times. Additionally paintings are mixed with the classics and modern, and you can find some famous artist works there too (like Renoir). Great place to stop by when exploring Paris historical center

Beautiful free museum, there are tickets you can buy where you are able to skip the line and see a temporary exhibit but there’s so much to see without buying it and the wait was only about 20 minutes! Beautiful paintings and ceilings and a wonderful gift shop! Was very crowded.

Fantastic museum. The art was great and the building was beautiful. During our visit there was an exhibition of both modern paintings next to old paintings where the modern ones were inspired by the older ones. Really nice. There was no wait to get in and the permanent collection was free to see.
