Hôtel Bellevue
L’Hôtel Bellevue, un hôtel de 3 étoiles entièrement rénové en 2003, est bien situé au pied du Sacré Cœur dans le quartier Montmartre, avec ses cafés et restaurants pleins d’ambiance et d’atmosphère dans les environs immédiats. On a accès direct à tous les divertissements touristiques en partant du métro Anvers, qui n’est qu’à deux arrêts de la Gare du Nord, et pas loin de l’Etoile (Champs-Elysées) et Opéra.
Orangeraie Museum
Set in the Tuileries Gardens, just at the southwest end, is the Orangerie. Since 1984, this wonderful museum houses the collection of paintings acquired by Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume. This collection has been inherited by the state and stipulates that it should always stay together.
The collection is made up of 144 paintings, mostly by André Derain. However, there are around 24 Renoirs, and about 24 Soutines, 14 Cezannes, a dozen by Picasso and Matisse, and some by Henri Rousseau, Utrillo, Modigliani, and Monet.
And most of all do not leave the Orangerie until you have gone to the two oval rooms, on the basement level, where there are the Waterlilies series by Monet. These paintings were offered to the France by Monet in 1922 and installed in the museum following his death in 1927.
