Overview of your Paris tour:

"One morning, one of us ran out of black and used blue instead" and so, Renoir said, impressionism was born. This is a journey in which we'll run out of the traditional museum visit, to discover this former train station, its amazing architecture, and its huge collections through the lens of Impressionism. We'll discover the drama and scandals of the movement, artists' secrets, and the true history hiding behind the paintings that made art history… We'll stroll inside its spaces, its sculpture central nave, its elevated walkways until discovering the masterpieces it contains. Also, we'll explore how the Italian architect Gae Aulenti took up the challenge of creating a new museum setting-up in the 1980s. From "The Luncheon on the Grass" by Manet, to "The Church at Auvers" by Van Gogh, from "The Artist's Studio" by Courbet to "The Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette" by Renoir up to Millet's "The Gleaners" and Monet's masterpieces, we will plunge into the essence of the Musée d'Orsay and its secrets.
