Paris Night Tour/Reservations for d'Orsay

Does anyone have a suggestion for a night tour of Paris?

Also, should I get advance reservations for Musee d'Orsay? Will there be long lines? We will be in Paris from May 29-June 1. Are the tickets for d'Orsay for an extended time period similar to the tickets for the Louvre?

Thanks....

The night Segway tour is a blast.

We didn't want to return the Segways at the conclusion of the tour.

Definitely take a boat on the Seine at night, to see beautiful Paris all lit up-- the bridges, the Eiffel Tower. The hop-on-hop-off Batobus is a very economical choice, but watch that you don't miss the last boat, sometime between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., I think. Enjoy Paris!

I suggest a City Tour/Dinner at the Eiffel Tower/Bateaux Mouche Tour. I've done it more than once and it is a blast. You can book through www.parisvision.com

They offer several different tours.

Just returned from Paris and there were huge line-ups for the D'Orsay, probably due to the wonderful Cezanne + Pisarro exhibition. We lined up briefly for reservations the following day, which allowed us entry to the exhibition only after 2 pm.

Musee d'Orsay is open on Thursday evening.
The lines are especially long if there is a special exhibit.
I would recommend getting the 2 day museum pass - entry is very fast.
