Thank you for your review which we are very happy to read! Orsay is one of our favourite museums and the restaurant a real hidden gem! Such a fabulous setting and it's managed by Alain Ducasse now so the food is great. We are so glad you enjoyed it! We hope you had a great stay here in Paris!
Exceptional museum, delicious lunch!

Our tour guide, Caroline, was excellent… informative, articulate and knowledgeable. The collection was exceptional, however, we were so disappointed to travel all the way from US and not see Van Goth’s Starry Night.

Thank you for your review! We are very happy to read that you enjoyed your tour and the lunch in the beautiful restaurant. The Musée d'Orsay does loan out some of their works from time to time, and the Starry Night is one of those that is out at the moment. We hope that the other incredible works on show there made up for this, and that perhaps we will have the opportunity to take you again on future trips so that you can see it.

Ivan is a wonderful tour guide! Knowledgeable, friendly and a great storyteller. I also had an amazing lunch in a most beautiful dining room at the museum.

A wonderful impression

Want to see the impressionists? This guided tour was amazing. A very knowledgeable guild took us on a mini history tour of art. We took the optional meal after in a most elegant restaurant and authentic French cuisine. North American visitors should remember to order their meat dishes one greater than they normally like as medium will be very rare, but armed with that knowledge, enjoy!
