Stroll along the banks of the Seine River, take in views of the Louvre across the water, and learn about the Belle Époque era. Your guide will share the captivating architectural history of the Musée d'Orsay, detailing its incredible transformation from a grand railway station built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition into the premier museum it is today.
After your engaging exterior walking tour, your guide will provide you with your reserved entry tickets and explain the layout of the museum so you know exactly where to find the most famous masterpieces.
