Visiting the Orsay Museum

Formerly a train station, the Orsay Museum offers a vast, open space that serves to highlight works of art from various fields: sculpture, painting, furniture and photography. The building, classified as an historic monument, is an example of architecture from the Second Empire and by itself is well worth a visit.

To get to the Orsay Museum, you go up Boulevard Raspail toward the Seine river. The museum is located approximately 1 kilometre from our 4-star hotel and is serviced by, among other things, a metro station with the same name.
