The day at Disneyland went really well, much to the delight of my two daughters. They had a great time. It was definitely worth it. I highly recommend it!

This is my second time visiting the park. The experience was just as wonderful, but this time I was able to enjoy it even more because it was in March and the park wasn't very crowded. The lines were short, and I was able to visit almost 11 rides—everything was absolutely beautiful. It was a blast!

Once we’d bought the tickets, there was nothing left to do when we arrived on the day. The lady scanned them with her phone, gave us a wristband, and that was that. The museum—which, to me, isn’t really a museum but more like a small city amusement park—was nice, but too crowded, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t buy a miniature version of the (unfinished) puzzle that was upstairs. But it’s worth a visit.

The Musée de l’Orangerie is a truly beautiful and well-maintained place. The famous Water Lilies by Claude Monet are absolutely breathtaking and worth seeing in person. Beyond Monet, the gallery also features a collection of other stunning artworks by renowned artists, making the visit even more special and diverse. There is also a wonderful shop inside where you can find unique souvenirs and art books, and even enjoy a light snack. After your visit, you can take a relaxing walk in the nearby Jardin des Tuileries and spend some peaceful time surrounded by nature. Paris is truly an amazing city.

The queue moved relatively quickly and the masterpieces inside were well worth the wait! Being immersed in Monet's water lilies was peaceful and transformative and moving through the myriad Cezanne, Renoir and large Rousseau exhibits were thrilling and beyond compare!

I didn't like that they don't send the tickets when you buy them and that I have to download an app to view them; in the end, I went in

An amazing experience. A fast elevator takes you up to the 56th floor. A 360-degree view of Paris with all its iconic landmarks. There’s also a section on the lower level dedicated to the history of the Montparnasse Tower.

We had a wonderful time on the roof of the Montparnasse Tower—we couldn’t have asked for a better view; it was truly moving. We didn’t even want to leave. The photo spots are really nice! And everything is explained very clearly! I highly recommend it!!!!
