Tour Description
The Musée d'Orsay is marking its 40th anniversary by celebrating Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the most beloved Impressionist artists in the museum’s collection. Visitors often flock to see his Dance at the Moulin de la Galette (1876). What more can be said about this incredibly popular artist? This current Orsay exhibition promises a new take on Renoir. His paintings burst with light and color, but they are also complex stories about relationships between men and women.
Renoir and Love brings together his iconic multi-figure paintings from collections around the world. These works depict joyful modern people interacting in public spaces—like theaters, restaurants, boulevards and gardens—and so offer a vivid account of daily life in France during 1860-1880. The goal of this exceptional exhibition is to reveal how universal love was a driving force for Renoir, inspired by the idea that it connects us to each other, and to nature.

We Saw the Orsay with New Eyes
What a wonderful, intimate tour of the Musée d’Orsay we had with Inge. You could not have selected a more perfect guide for us. It was a birthday gift from my wife and what a joy. Though we have been to Paris over a dozen times, we saw the Orsay with new eyes. The development of the two hours was simply breathtaking in the detail of Inge’s knowledge. She listened carefully, based on our questions, and was able and willing to modify our tour that made us grow ( if that was possible) in our appreciation of the Impressionists movement. It was an art lesson that gave us a new appreciation of the art world and what it offers.

Ask for Victor
Victor Branthome's tour of Musee D’Orsay was one of the highlights of our trip! His ability to weave the social, political and historical contexts of the artworks into the description of the art itself made the pieces come alive. Victor really seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge and love of art with us. We couldn’t help but be drawn in by his enthusiasm and energy. What a joy it would be to have Victor guide us through every single museum in Paris! Maybe next trip.

Another Excellent Experience with Paris Muse
Our Paris Muse Guide Karine, was excellent. This is a second time using Paris Muse and I would highly recommend their company's services. Karine was educated and entertaining, providing a great overview of the Musee d'Orsay during our two hour tour. She highlighted the best parts of the museum and explained how the collection was organized and how it came to be..... Overall, this was a fantastic experience.
