"What do romantics love more than art?
Nothing really, because art is all around us, like love.
It can be a random street, a beautiful window that you notice while looking up, a fresh meal, rain starting to fall while you just got safely inside... it is endless.
So, for romantics out there planning to visit this glorious town, I am so sorry to say, but you cannot miss out on Orsay.
I highly suggest either one of the two options: buying your ticket online ahead of time, or visiting the museum for the first Sunday of the month - the entrance then is free.
Long queues are inevitable, so bring a snack, a bottle of water and maybe something to read.
Yes, it sounds like a lot of work, but inside are truly, truly breathtaking creations that make it worth it."
