Things you need to know before visiting the Musée d’Orsay

Not only is the Musée d’Orsay one of the best museums in the world (ranked the best in the world by TripAdvisor Travellers Choice) but it is also one of the most beautiful! The museum is housed inside a restored old railway station, the former Gare d’Orsay. The stunning architecture alone is well worth the visit. By far, Musée d’Orsay is my favorite museum!

Palais-Royal: A hidden oasis in the heart of Paris

The Palais Royal is often overlooked and ignored by tourists, and that’s the main reason why we like it. Unlike the Tuileries garden, the Palais-Royal (meaning “Royal Palace” in French) and its little garden are a quiet refuge in the heart of Paris; and trust me, this is very rare in the 1st arrondissement!
