Double museum experience!

Rosemary_C, Sep 2023

Christophe was an excellent guide! He is a fount of knowledge and patiently gave interesting and relevant history as we made our way through both museums. The d’Orsay has the most magnificent collection of Impressionist paintings including Renoir, Degas, Gaugin, Manet, Monet and Van Gogh. So much beauty!
