Find some pictures of impressionists in the collection. The entry to the collection is free. And take your time in the garden , taking a bite. Lovely & surprisingly calm for the very centre of Paris.

The building is marvellous, and the permanent collection is fabulous - and free entry. Reserve at least 2 hours before the closing time to enjoy the exhibitions , that worth the price.
