Great Combo-deal! Save money and Skip the Line at the Orsay!
Combine an unforgettable hour-long cruise with a visit to the Orsay! Whether you are coming as a couple or in a group, you'll be welcomed with a smile for your cruise and after a short wait you'll embark at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. To learn history along the way, plug in your audio-guide and choose your language (there are 13 languages to choose from). Your guide will also provide lesser-known stories, for example the famous lovers who met in a particular town house. From bridge to bridge and bank to bank, you will be at the heart of Paris.
At your leisure, you can then visit the Orsay Museum. It is a national museum situated on the left bank of the Seine in the former Orsay railway station, built in 1898 by Victor Laloux for the World Fair. The station was converted into a museum and inaugurated in 1986. The Musée d’Orsay conserves and shows the largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings in the world as well as outstanding Symbolist, Realist and Academic paintings.
