Originally one of the city’s largest train stations, the Musee d’Orsay is a fantastic museum, rich in art. Most of the art contained in Musee d’Orsay are collections which date back to the 18th and 19th century.

Located opposite the Jardin du Carrousel, the museum has 3 floors of exhibits. On entering the museum you’ll be hit by the amount of natural light that seeps through the stain glass windows.

Prepare yourself to be impressed! Here you will find impressionist collections of work from Van Gogh, Renoir, Millet and many more. Most of these are located on the upper floor of the museum. On the second floor you will find a superb Art Noveau collection.

On the top floor make sure you stop off at Musee d’Orsay Café. It’s situated behind one of the giant station clocks, and weather permitting, out on the top of the building you can take in the views of the city overlooking the Seine the views are just breathtaking from up here.
