Musée d'Orsay

Impressionism in a Beaux-Arts railway station, and a better single visit than the Louvre.

Musée d'Orsay is in Paris, and this is Paris — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 590 km across and 210 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

The TGV network makes Paris–Marseille three hours and Paris–Bordeaux two. All of France →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.

Other places in Paris

Père Lachaise

A walled city of the dead with its own map, 44 hectares, and better company than most parks.

Park

Sainte-Chapelle

Fifteen windows of 13th-century glass holding 1,113 scenes, in a chapel built as a reliquary.

Church

The Covered Passages

Glass-roofed arcades from the 1820s, built before the department store and mostly forgotten since.

Street

Musée Rodin

The sculptor's own house and garden, where The Thinker sits outside and the queue does not exist.
