The Musée Marmottan Monet is one of my favorite museums in Paris.
It is a little off the beaten path from many of the more well known museums,
but it should definitely not be missed.
Located in the quiet residential area of the 16th, the former hunting lodge is the
perfect setting for the world renowned artwork
The specially constructed Monet Salon is spectacular
A lovely painting by Berthe Morisot, a contemporary of Monet
A marvelous place to while away some time...
Put a Little Ooh La La in Your Life!

Merci for this tidbit, I will put it on my list to visit for the next time I am in Paris!
Hi Mimi,
This sounds like in interesting museum. We will be visiting Paris in July. This may be a good place to visit!
Happy weekend!
Lieve groet, Madelief
This is my favorite Impressionist museum as well. It's so carefully curated, and every piece is worthwhile. The collection is a nice size, and not so huge as to be overwhelming. I really enjoyed seeing the Berthe Morisot works and learning more about her life.
I had no idea that was even there. I just might have to try to return to Paris just for this experience. (O:

Dear Mimi,
I have longed to see the huge Monet mural since I saw it in an art book when I was a child! It will be on our to-do list the next time we visit!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

Bonjour beautiful MIMI! You live in a museum and your daily walks, excursions ALONE are a tour of the greatest art in modern times!!!! MILLE BISES MA BELLE! Anita
I love knowing about these little museums off the beaten path. What a lovely painting of Berthe Morisot. It's interesting that the French Impressionists painted each other and some did their own portraits as well.

I'm happy to know about this museum, Mimi. I'm planning a trip to Paris in April and will add this to my itinerary. I do love the French Impressionists.
Hi Mimi!
I was lucky to visit Musée Marmottan and some great Monet paintings. Have you been to the super exhibition? I was so sad of missing such a must in Paris!!! :)
I've been to Paris for oh so many times, and have always wanted to visit the Musee Marmottan, but it has just not happened. I'm putting it at the top of the list for next trip--thanks for the recommendation!
Bonne semaine,

Musée Marmottan Monet is one of my favorite places too. I visited on 22 April 2011 and took a friend and after 45 minutes headed to the underground room to see the Monet water lilies. They are all gone! They have an exposition of a modern French artist in that space. There are three or four classic Mone's on the first floor/ It's Musee Marmottan sans Monet
