World’s largest art museum and a full-day universe. We love planning a focused loop (Greek masterpieces + Italian painting), then a quieter gallery for balance (Islamic Arts, Near Eastern antiquities). Early entry helps the flow.

The palace itself is part of the experience — vaulted halls, courtyards, traces of the medieval moat. If you’re short on time, we craft a 2–3 hour “masterpieces + one passion” route (e.g., Renaissance portraits, Dutch still life, Egyptian favorites).

Once a Belle Époque railway station, now the home of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. We particularly love starting upstairs with Monet, Renoir, Degas and working down to Van Gogh and Gauguin. Don’t miss the clock views over the Seine.

The scale is perfect for a half day. We pace rooms to avoid fatigue (color-heavy galleries, then sculpture for contrast), and add five-minute “view breaks” at the clock windows. Families enjoy the variety — painting, sculpture, design.

Two oval rooms designed with Monet: immersive, quiet, almost meditative. Downstairs, small but radiant collections (Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Modigliani).

A beautiful “bridge” between big museums: 45–60 minutes is enough if you’re pacing a longer day. We pair it with a garden stroll in the Tuileries or a café on rue de Rivoli, then continue riverside.

Paris’s bold inside-out icon: Kandinsky to Duchamp, plus panoramic views from the escalators and rooftop. We particularly love the way temporary shows reframe the collection.

The sequence of rooms makes contemporary art feel readable: strong color, then quiet space, then a surprise object. If you’re traveling with teens, this is where curiosity lights up.

Indoors for masterpieces, outdoors for wander and light. The garden’s rhythm is perfect for travelers who need space between galleries. On warm days, we alternate sculpture with shade, and keep the finale for the Hôtel Biron’s intimate rooms.

With kids, we turn it into a sculpture “hunt” — hands, folds, gestures — then a short walk toward the Seine for a reward stop.

A townhouse devoted to Picasso’s many lives — painting, sculpture, ceramics. Recent redisplays make the visit feel fresh and focused. We love pairing it with a Marais stroll: cafés, courtyards, and hidden gardens.

The chronological arc helps first-timers grasp the shifts: blue to rose, cubism to classical, late ceramics that feel playful. 60–90 minutes is a sweet spot if you’re combining museums the same day.

Our go-to for context. We particularly love the period rooms and the way temporary shows connect past to present. Free entry to the permanent collection makes it easy to add to your day.

The narrative runs from Roman Lutetia to Haussmann and beyond; we pick 6–8 rooms that tell your favorite themes: revolution, cafés, literature, signage. It’s unexpectedly fun for kids — spot the old shop fronts.

Home to the world’s largest Monet collection, including Impression, Sunrise. We love the intimate scale and the way the rooms unfold from salon to gallery.

Away from the center, it’s a calmer experience. We combine it with a leafy walk through nearby streets, then a café pause before heading back. Monet lovers also discover Berthe Morisot here — a highlight in her own right.

A 19th-century dome reimagined with a minimal concrete cylinder — the architecture is half the visit. We start in the Rotunda, then spiral outward; audio pieces and large-scale works reward slow looking.

If your schedule is tight, we pick one major installation and two side galleries, then a quick pause under the dome to absorb the space.

A glass-sail landmark in the Bois de Boulogne with blockbuster exhibitions and family workshops. We particularly love golden-hour walks around the building — and the way shows mix modern masters with today’s voices.

The setting adds breathing room to an art day. We time it with the park: gallery loop → terrace views → woodland stroll. It’s also a great finale before dinner back in the center.
