I don't think so, I thought that website was entirely in French. I am surprised you got a confirmation in English.
FNAC has always been flawless in sending me the appropriate emails, I'm surprised you didn't get the required info. Are you saying you got an email confirming the purchase, or just the confirmation page on the website when you bought them? Because if you never got any email, often that means the order didn't go through.
There really aren't many details to get, but you do get an order number, as I recall.

Christina, thanks for your input.I did get an order number. I've referenced it in my e-mails to them, but so far no luck. Guess I'll jusst have to wait and see if the tickets show up! I knew I should have studied French instead of Spanish!

Are you sure that reserved tickets can be picked up at ALL FNAC stores? There is a feeling in my memory that some stores do not have that facility. I think I remember a couple of years ago I went to the store in the 6th and had to go to the one on Rue de Rennes to get the tickets.

We reserved through FNAC and were let in immediately though we were a trifle early for our time slot--last week. The line for people who had not reserved was only about 10 or 15 people long and seemed to be moving ok. If you intend to go and are worried about cutting up your day with a specific time slot, I'd say don't bother. We were there, of course, on a weekday not a weekend and at 4 p.m. so that may have colored my experience, but if you can plan for somewhat similar timing, I'd say it's probably not necessary to get advance reservations and be stuck with a specific day and time.

They have them through March. There really shouldn't be a problem getting them within a month, though, as most people don't buy them in advance.
You are probably searching for the wrong thing. They are changing expos at the end of November, so it costs a couple euro more then and they have that as a separate listing (from 11/20 through March or something). Just put in "musee orangerie" into the search box under Spectacles and you'll see both possibilities and dates.

I had reservations through FNAC for the Orangerie on Thursday, Sept. 28th at 1:00pm. I picked them up earlier at an FNAC in Rouen. I needed the credit card I'd used and my passport to get them.
It seemed like a normal Thursday in Paris. My friend and I walk past 150 people waiting in the regular line to go in. Once in the main doors there were another 50 people backed up at the ticket windows. Maybe you'll not have a line. Maybe you will. I'd lock into a specific time to avoid any line that might exist. Especially since the tickets weren't that expensive. 16euro was the total cost for 2 tix as I recall.
Using hindsight I'd have gone downstairs to see that collection first, saving the "bang" of Monet's gorgeous paintings for last. As it was I dashed right into the water lilies. They were so stunning that I was overwhelmed and didn't appreciate the paintings in the lower gallery as much as I should have.

In September, we went to FNAC and had no problem getting tickets on Friday for the following Monday (our day of choice). All times were available. If you're not having your tickets mailed and plan to pick them up at FNAC anyway, you may as well just wait until you get to Paris and check the weather forecast.

currently fnac is only lisitng dates through early march, and we will be there in the latter half. so close but yet so far!
thanks for the good tips. i may have to buy tickets early just because i can. and i like the idea of seeing the other collection first. i'm prepared to be awed by the lillies.
just bought our air france tix, so now i feel like i'm really going to paris!
thanks!

Hate to sound like a dummy, but when I went to www.fnac.com, everything was in French. I couldn't find a tab or icon to switch to English. Advice, Anyone?
