Key facts
About Monet, Painting Time
Organised by the Musée de l'Orangerie in partnership with Tate Modern, this exhibition brings together almost forty Monet paintings, drawn mainly from the Musée d'Orsay and Musée Marmottan Monet, alongside international loans. It explores Monet's lifelong engagement with time through his famous series: Water Lilies, Haystacks, Poplars and Rouen Cathedral.
The show is staged in the Orangerie's celebrated Nymphéas rooms, often called the 'Sistine Chapel of Impressionism', and is curated by Cécile Girardeau and Sophie Eloy. After closing in Paris, it travels to Tate Modern, London, from 25 February to 27 June 2027.
The museum is open Monday and Wednesday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm, with special late-night hours on Fridays from 6pm to 9pm. It is closed on Tuesdays. Tickets and full programme details are managed exclusively by Musée de l'Orangerie via its official website.
Getting to Musée de l'Orangerie
The Orangerie sits at the western end of the Tuileries Gardens, on Place de la Concorde, making it one of the most central museums in Paris. From Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Paris-Orly, a private chauffeur offers a fixed-price, meet-and-greet transfer directly to your hotel or straight to the museum, with live flight tracking and waiting time included.
Visitors arriving by Eurostar at Gare du Nord, or by TGV at Gare de Lyon, can book a chauffeured pickup that avoids taxi queues and multiple Metro changes while carrying luggage through central Paris.
If you are staying at a central hotel, a short chauffeured ride to Place de la Concorde is the simplest way to reach the museum, especially useful for the Friday evening late openings or if you are combining the exhibition with other Paris appointments.
Getting around Paris during your visit
Beyond the single transfer, many visitors prefer an hourly chauffeur hire to combine the Orangerie exhibition with the nearby Musée d'Orsay, Louvre, or shopping along Rue de Rivoli, without worrying about parking in central Paris.
A chauffeur at disposal (2-hour minimum) is particularly convenient for business visitors or groups attending the exhibition as part of a wider Paris itinerary, allowing flexible stops and return trips to your hotel between appointments.
Planning your visit
Fridays bring late-night opening hours until 9pm, which can be a quieter time to view the Nymphéas rooms; book an evening chauffeur pickup from your hotel and a return drop-off afterwards to make the most of it.
Given its central location near Concorde, road traffic and roadworks around the Tuileries and Rue de Rivoli can affect journey times, so a professional chauffeur who tracks live conditions is a practical advantage over self-driving or ride-hailing apps.
Chauffeur tips for Monet, Painting Time
- Book your airport transfer in advance so your chauffeur tracks your flight and is waiting at arrivals, even if you land early or late.
- For the Friday 6pm-9pm late opening, schedule an evening pickup from your hotel and a return drop-off to skip post-visit taxi queues near Concorde.
