Before You Book the Musée de l'Orangerie: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

The Musée de l'Orangerie, in the Tuileries Garden, was built around Monet's Water Lilies, two oval rooms of panels that wrap around you. It's small, cheap by Paris standards and closed on Tuesdays. There's the standard ticket, free entry for young people and on first Sundays, a combo with the Musée d'Orsay, and the Paris Museum Pass. Most of them sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one, whether that's a quiet 9 am or a busy afternoon.
