The Orangerie provides a small but impressive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art which can be overlooked in favour of the larger and more widely known collection at the Musée d'Orsay. Not to be missed are The Nymphéas, or Water Lillies, by Claude Monet which span the walls of the ground-floor gallery. Situated in the Jardins de Tuileries and looking out onto the Place de la Concorde, the museum is conveniently located for those seeking a moment's calm while visiting the star attractions of Paris.
