1. Musee d'Orsay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 55 reviews
This beautiful museum, once a railroad station, now houses a staggering collection of Impressionist art, as well as other items created between 1848 and 1914. In 2011, the museum is running a renovation of the top floor (impressionist gallery). Only ground and medium floor are accessible. The top floor will re-open on the 20th of October. Meanwhile, some impressionist masterpieces are not visible.

Easier to navigate than the Louvre; dedicated to art from 1850s to 1940s; we took five hours plus a 90 minute refuel in La Restaurant.
First Sunday in April so access was free. We arrived at 0925 and queues until 1030 before we passed security and were actively viewing.
We headed up to the fifth floor to start with the floor dedicated to the impressionists. It’s overwhelming.... Monet, Manet, Renoir, Degas... Cezanne, Pissarro, Sisley... it’s like and endless visual bombardment.
The second floor has Art Deco furniture and indeed a whole room reconstructed from the period... oh and the sculptures...
I loved it. The audio guide was pretty good too.
La Restaurant had a starter and main offer at €22... Onion Soup with bread and Sea Bass fillets on couscous. Fine for the price and provided enough energy to tackle the last two floors.
Van Gogh, Picasso, Gaugan... really all this in a manageable, navigable museum. It’s a total wonder and the finest day I’ve spent looking at art.

A nice place to go for a walk in such a built-up city: Levallois-Perret has 63,000 people crammed into one square mile! There are attendants on patrol, but this didn't seem to prevent a young lout from walking across the lawn instead of using the footpaths. If we all did this, there would be no grass left at all in the park.

Grand looking building both inside and outside, excellent place for photo taking. Just one minor issue regards left behind your ID before you can rent the audio guide. Really? That's a bit strange. I would rather to be asked for higher rental fee for it.

The Sainte-Chapelle is the finest royal chapel to be built in France and features a truly exceptional collection of stained-glass windows. It was built in the mid 13th century by Louis IX, at the heart of the royal residence, the Palais de la Cité. It was built to house the relics of the Passion of Christ. Adorned with a unique collection of fifteen glass panels and a large rose window forming a veritable wall of light,the Sainte-Chapelle is a gem of French Gothic architecture.

Fascinating light if you visit on a sunny day around 12. Remember that 70% of these windows are from 13. century !
Top Tip: If you want to visit la conciergerie too, than go there (almost no queue), buy a combined ticket sainte chapelle and conciergerie, do not visit conciergerie now, do it later, go outside again and skip the long line at sainte chapelle ;-)
6. Notre Dame Cathedral

This famous Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture on which construction began in the 12th century, stands on the Île de la Cité and is the symbolic heart of the city.
Reviewed By Thierry P - Paris, France
Centuries of history contemplated by this noble Dame in the historic area of Paris. The proportion of the golden number and the work of inspired ”Compagnons” who build this Cathedral along the river la Seine give to Paris its magic authenticity. To walk around and discover L’Ile Saint Louis is a must.

Completed in 1889, this colossal landmark, although initially hated by many Parisians, is now a famous symbol of French civic pride.
Reviewed By flavale - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Went to Paris for the 10th time I guess. I was very disappointed when I saw the tower completely shut and protect by metal walls. I know that’s a consequence of terrorisism but it made me so sad. I could walk freely as I was used to. What a shame.
8. Louvre Museum

Home to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the Louvre is considered the world's greatest art museum, with an unparalleled collection of items covering the full spectrum of art through the ages.
Reviewed By c1lm2 - Princeton, New Jersey
The crowds were daunting, even with a "skip the line" tour. It was my son's first visit so we went to see the "most famous" artwork. For the repeat traveler, I recommend going to the less mobbed galleries (if there are any during Spring Break). Still, breathtaking and beautiful and worth braving the tumult.

One of my favorite places. A hidden jewel. This is,a,park that is lovely to visit. Beautiful Fountains beautiful walking areas. Has a lot for the Parisian and the tourist.

Less crowds, more art. One of, if not the best Impressionist collections in the world. Buy ticket here for this and D’Orsay, and skip line at D’Orsay
