An often overlooked little corner of Monet Paris, Le Petit Palais houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts of the City of Paris and features a section of Impressionist art, including a range of Monet’s works. A trip to the Petit Palais is worth the journey – it’s near Champs-Elysées Clemenceau and Franklin-Roosevelt metro stations – and offers an enchanting atmosphere. The impressive Belle Époque-style building features 1,300 different works, and ranges from medieval collections to French and Italian Renaissance painters. Its Impressionist collection features landscape paintings by Monet as well masterpieces by Bonnard, Pissarro, Cézanne and Renoir. The small indoor garden is particularly enchanting and a further example of Le Petit Palais’s architectural beauty.
