France Trip: Discovering Van Gogh Paintings at Orsay Museum

#hellohalloween Here’s your quick guide to an artsy Paris adventure—legendary galleries, river strolls, historic squares, plus a hotel that nails style and service 🇫🇷✨ Top Spots to Visit: Musee d’Orsay (Esplanade Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, 75007): Classic Impressionist haven, must-see for art fans! Go early morning or late for fewer crowds. Open Tue-Wed, Fri-Sun 09:30–18:00; Thursdays open late till 21:45; closed Mon. Musee de l’Orangerie (Jardin des Tuileries, 75001): Monet’s massive Water Lilies make this spot unforgettable. Open Mon, Wed-Sun 09:00–18:00 (last in 17:15), closed Tues. Obélisque de Louxor & Place de la Concorde (75008): Instagram gold, especially at sunset! Both are open 24/7—perfect for spontaneous photo shoots or quiet late-night vibes. Pont Alexandre III: The most photogenic bridge in Paris, don’t skip the selfies! Tuileries Garden: Classic Paris lounging—grab a pastry, people-watch, or picnic under the trees. Hotel Tips: Stayed at Hôtel Pont Royal Paris (5 Rue de Montalembert)—so clean and charming, with a killer location for exploring the city by foot. The staff are super welcoming, breakfast is decent (though not a huge selection), and it honestly feels like home base in Paris. Getting Around: Paris Metro is your travel BFF—navigating key sites is easy and cheap, just snag a carnet (pack of tickets) for best value. Walking works too, since most must-sees are close together in the city center. Foodie tip: Pop into any local bakery near your hotel in Saint Germain—croissants and pain au chocolat here hit different. Pro tip: Near the museums, hit Alléno Paris for a next-level, splurge-worthy meal (book ahead!). #parisarttrip #frenchgetaway #pariseats #travelhacks #tripdotcom
