Musée de l’Orangerie: In the middle of Monet’s Water Lily pond

I remember in the summer, when I posted about a trip to Claude Monet’s house and garden in Giverny, many Steemians told me how much they loved Monet’s paintings. If you are a big fan of Monet, Paris is a paradise for you. You can find many of his artworks in the city. If you’re a Monet fan there are three places you must see In Paris: Musee D’Orsay, Musee Marmottan and l’Orangerie.

I felt so lucky to visit the actual water lilies in Giverny and since then I’ve been wanting to visit the famous water lilies paintings in Musee de l’Orangerie. Paris is known as a city full of museums, l’Orangerie wasn’t the biggest among them but it houses Monet’s water lilies paintings in a large format, which are beautifully displayed larger than life in two rooms.

Paris is always a good idea!

I live in Belgium and for me a city trip in Paris is always something to do. We have this Thalys train and its cheaper version Izy train between Brussels and Paris. There are many Parisians living in Brussels and vice versa, besides these regular commuters, we love travelling to Paris. It’s a city that you can never finish exploring. I always try to stay in different neighbourhoods, in order to see more areas of the city.
