About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, with real reserved entry — Monet's genuine, monumental Water Lilies murals at the Musée de l'Orangerie. This is a private tour for your group only, with real reserved entry. The real highlight is Monet's genuine, monumental Water Lilies murals, displayed in two oval rooms designed specifically for them.

Claude Monet spent real, considerable effort on how his Water Lilies murals would actually be displayed, working directly with architect Camille Lefèvre to design two oval rooms specifically for them — the two ovals together form the shape of an infinity symbol. Eight panels in total, each about 2 meters high and running to a combined 91 meters in length, wrap continuously around the walls of those two rooms, exactly as Monet intended.

The paintings were originally meant for a different museum entirely — the Musée Rodin — before France's Council President, Georges Clemenceau, a personal friend of Monet's, pushed to have them installed in the Orangerie instead. The donation was finalized in 1922, and the purpose-built rooms finally opened to the public on 16 May 1927, just months after Monet's death.

With real reserved entry included, your guide can take you straight to the two oval rooms rather than working around a queue — a genuinely different way to experience a series of paintings that were designed, down to the architecture around them, to be seen exactly this way.
