Paris

The Must-sees of the trip

1. Musée D’OrsayThe Musée d’Orsay is known worldwide for its rich collection of Impressionist art and is also the museum for the entire artistic output of the Western world from 1848 to 1914. The museum’s collections encompass all forms of expression, from painting to sculpture, decorative arts, photography and architecture to a palatial railway station inaugurated for the 1900 Universal Exhibition. At the end of 2011, the museum was reopened in its entirety, completely renovated and equipped with new spaces: 400 m² more space for the Mountain Pavilion, the Post-Impressionist artists at the heart of the museum, the reorganisation of the Impressionist Gallery, a new space for temporary exhibitions, not forgetting the new “water” decoration of the Café des hauteurs, entrusted to two Brazilian designers, the Campana brothers.
2. MontmartreMontmartre is a neighbourhood with authentic charm, famous for the Sacré-Cœur basilica and the magnificent view of Paris. The top of the hill can be reached by funicular railway, which costs the price of a metro ticket. The more athletic can climb the 222 steps via Louise-Michel-Platz. After visiting the basilica, visitors embark on a historical walk across the Montmartre hill: Place du Tertre and its famous cartoonists, Espace Dalí, the Montmartre vineyards, the Lapin Agile cabaret, the Montmartre Museum… The walk continues down to the Moulin Rouge, the historic cabaret theatre with its wild and world-famous parties. Along the way, visitors can enjoy the creative and trendy shop windows of Rue des Abbesses and Rue Tardieu, the shops of Rue Lepic, the cosmopolitan flair of Rue de Steinkerque, the cheeky Pigalle neighbourhood and the Montmartre cemetery. Just a few minutes’ walk from the Moulin Rouge, in SoPi (South Pigalle), the tearoom in the garden of the “Musée de la Vie Romantique” (Museum of Romantic Life) is ideal for a gourmet break.
