Introduction

The Jardin des Tuileries in front of the Louvre is a beautiful public garden located on the opposite bank of the River Seine. It used to be a train station in the past, but now the charming building with a large clock has been transformed into one of the museums with the largest collection of Impressionist artworks in the world. As one of the three major museums in Paris, the Musée d'Orsay mainly houses art treasures from 1848 to 1912. If you are interested in the works of Impressionist masters, this is definitely a must-visit place for you. Here, you can admire many important works, such as Vincent van Gogh's "Self-Portrait" and "The Church in Auvers," Claude Monet's "Impression, Sunrise" and "Woman with a Parasol," Jean-François Millet's "The Gleaners," Edouard Manet's "Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe," Paul Cézanne's "Still Life," as well as numerous masterpieces by Renoir, Gauguin, Picasso, and more. If you are interested in works prior to 1848, you can visit the Louvre, and if you enjoy artworks from after 1912, it is recommended to visit the Pompidou Center.
