METRO

PAIRING

Easy on foot

No transport is needed between the garden and museum.

LOCATION

The museum sits at the Concorde end of the garden.

The museum’s official address is Jardin des Tuileries, Place de la Concorde on the Seine side. That means you do not need a Metro ride between the garden and museum: they are part of the same visit area.

ROUTE

Pair the Water Lilies with an east–west garden walk.

If the Orangerie is your first stop, continue east through the Tuileries toward the Louvre afterward. If you are coming from the Louvre side, treat the Orangerie as the natural end point of your garden walk.

A timed museum booking should set the direction. Keep enough buffer to cross the garden without rushing if your entry time is fixed.

TRANSPORT

Concorde is the simplest Metro for the museum.

The Orangerie lists Concorde station on Metro lines 1, 8 and 12. This is also convenient for the western Tuileries and Place de la Concorde.
