The Louvre isn't the only place to see art. The Musée d’Orsay, a former railway station, houses a superb collection of Impressionist paintings. However, it has only recently admitted to their superbness. The museum’s previous director was replaced in 2002 after saying that he thought Impressionism was "overrated". The public (and the new director) don’t agree, and in peak tourist season getting a close look at a Monet can be as invigorating as winning a rugby scrum. Which is why those in the know make for a lesser-known, but equally magnificent Monet collection elsewhere in Paris...
