Musée de l'Orangerie

Fodor's Review:

People line up for hours for a glimpse of Claude Monet's huge meditative Water Lilies, displayed inside what was once a winter greenhouse for the Tuileries' citrus trees. The 2006 renovation has allowed more light to pour into this small museum, so appropriate for its selection of early-20th-century paintings by Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Marie Laurencin, among other masters.
