Hungry for culture? Come and explore Musée Jacquemart-André, one of Paris's top museums for art connoisseurs. Skip the lines with a fast-track entry ticket and explore inside with an audio-guided tour to learn about the huge private art collection. Step inside the Musée Jacquemart-André and it may feel more like a family home than a museum, perhaps because it used to be one. Elegant French couple Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart resided here in the late 19th-century and amassed a huge collection of Italian art. This lavish property, close to the Champs-Elysées, became a museum in 1916 and showcases all their many treasures. Admire 15th- and 16th-century Italian sculptures, the Florentine Gallery and its religious works in the Italian Museum, and the hall resembling a beautiful Venetian Palace.

Take a 2-hour guided walk in Paris to experience the results of the famous Haussmannian intervention, which was the largest urban planning feat ever undertaken in the city. In the 19th century the whole city, with the exception of 2 neighborhoods, was flattened and built anew. The plan was designed to create the best planned, the most functional, and above all, the most beautiful city in the world. The program, however, took its toll on many precious buildings and streets that have been forever lost. During the Haussmannian Paris tour you’ll learn about this massive effort and visit the top examples of the style that was undoubtedly excessive and yet an incredibly unified one. After you have taken this tour, you’ll never see the city of Paris in the same way again! The major sites on the tour are the Opéra Garnier, a landmark of the era, Boulevard Haussmann, named after its creator, and the Galeries Lafayette, the most beautiful shopping mall in Paris. See the Museum of Jacquemart-André, a lavish and opulent villa of the period, the Church of Saint Augustin, an architectural marvel, and Park Monceau, the most elegant park in the city.
