The "Orsay masterpieces explained to children" tour

Pauline was great
- a great family experience

Pierre, aged 9, and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit, which our guide led with brio and humor. We took away interesting and curious lessons, and a strong desire to return. The only hitch was the rather long wait in the rain to get into the museum.
- The guide Nathalie was very professional, in control of the group, very educational, nothing but compliments.
Written by Jean Frédéric PLASSARD, 13-03-2024
Yes, I would recommend it. The guide was fascinating, a psychologist, remarkable.
- Very interesting guided tour.

The presentations of the paintings were very clear and interesting. But the Impressionist section was too crowded. My 10-year-old grandson really enjoyed it, despite this drawback.
- A disappointing experience

Having arrived a little late, I was not allowed to join the group after having paid back my entrance ticket. The secretary on the phone was very unpleasant and offered me no alternative solution.

Hello, Madam, We've made some enquiries. Unfortunately, you arrived 30 minutes late for your visit. For logistical reasons, and out of respect for the members of the group who are on time, museum visiting slots do not allow latecomers to be kept waiting.... We're sorry, but there is a rule to follow to ensure that the visit goes as smoothly as possible for all participants.
- Not enough explanation on the tables.

Very few of the paintings are explained to children, so all you want to do is go back and visit on your own!
- Great experience!

For young and old alike! A very kind guide who showed us lots of beautiful things!
- Superb visit to the Musée d'Orsay

Superb experience. This was our third visit with Cyril. He is passionate and engaging. The whole family loved it and learned lots of new things.
- Interesting but too expensive
Written by EMELINE HASSER, 18-12-2023
The visit was interesting but the ratio between the museum entrance fee and the visit fee is too high.
- Very good!

After the Louvre a few months ago, Ludo and Sophie (and guide Pauline!) took us on a new tour of the Musée d'Orsay. The children and parents alike enjoyed the activity. We never saw the time go by!
- Very interesting and lively

We spent an excellent afternoon at the Musée d'Orsay with Pauline, who captivated young and old alike. Highly recommended!
- Perfect visit in every respect

My granddaughters' first visit to the Musée d'Orsay. A complete success. The tour guide, Pauline, was fascinating for the children... and for the adults too. We really enjoyed the visit and my granddaughters were very proud to tell their parents about it. A must for another museum...
- A great activity with Pauline, who succeeded very well in engaging both young and old.

- Interesting
Written by Alain Nicolas, 08-08-2023
Well-organized, the visit aroused the interest of the 3 children, whose curiosity was cleverly stimulated by the guide and their desire to take part in the question-and-answer game. I was a little puzzled by the choice of some of the works: does the model of the Opéra Garnier really illustrate the Musée d'Orsay's interest?
- Instructive AND fun
Written by Eric PALANQUE, on 17-07-2023
Many thanks to Pauline who, with communicative energy, delivers a very interesting 5-step introduction to the masterpieces of this beautiful museum. There's something for young and old alike.

Excellent visit of the Musée d'Orsay with Nathalie who knew how to captivate the children. The selection of works was relevant and the duration well adapted.

Thanks to Émilie, we spent a magical 1h30 at the Musée d'Orsay. Far from a classic visit, she was able to add depth to the children's first discovery of the museum, comparing painters and painting styles and providing anecdotes to capture their attention and bring the paintings to life. She adapts very well to her audience and doesn't hesitate to get them involved by asking them questions. Mission accomplished for us, the children really enjoyed it and will be delighted to return to see the works we didn't have time to see.
