If you like impressionist, then you might enjoy a visit at Museum d’Orsay on 1, rue de la Légion d’Honneur, 75007 Paris. Located on the left bank of Seine, Museum d’Orsay is supposed to hold the largest collection of masterpieces of impressionist in the world: Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh… you name it.
The Museum’s building self is quite impressive with a very unique layout inside since originally it was build in 1898 as a train station. Unfortunately, photograph/video inside the entire building is verboten. Currently a special exhibition called “Crime and Punishment” is on displaying.
A art trip in Paris would be very special if you explore this beautiful and charming city by following the Masters to discover sites that once appear in their paintings over a century ago. I had my moment while standing at the 
very quiet site of moulin de la Galetter to imagine the scene created by Auguste Renoir in his “Bal au moulin de la Galetter, Montmartre“: all of sudden everything in that painting became alive, so vivid, as if one felt the warmth of sun and breeze from late spring; lovely music floating in the air; intimate conversations fading in the shadows…
Tips: 1. Avoid to visit the Museum on a rainy Tuesday. d’Orsay, as the very few (if not the only) museum that opens on Tuesdays, the waiting line could be very long and inside could be packed when everyone trying to do the same thing.
2. With a Paris museum Pass, go directly to the Entry C at Museum d’Orsay. A Paris museum Pass is helpful to save big amount of time/frustration at most local museums.
3. For a walking tours of the artists’ studios, homes, and the sites they painted, see “The Impressionists’ Paris” by Ellen Williams.
