- The Geographical Cure has an article on the impressionism trail in Paris and a tour of Paris’s Musée d’Orsay while they themselves describe their collections but perhaps the Orsay’s greatest claim is its building, an old train station. Also Musée de l’Orangerie , on lower floor, Cezanne, Renior, Mattise, Piccasso, Derain and Soutine or MAM which has a classic, movement orientated view of French modern art.
