SUMMARY:Musée d'Orsay - Sargent Exhibition - Dazzling Paris (1874-1884)
DESCRIPTION:Sargent Exhibition – Dazzling Paris (1874-1884)\nEvent sold out\n\n13 November 2025 \nAn exclusive guided tour organised by the Cambridge Society of Paris.

In France\, however\, his name and work remain largely unknown\, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay hopes to change in the autumn of 2025.Assemble at 17:30 on the esplanade of the museum by the sculpture of the Rhino (on the river bank) Esplanade Valéry Giscard d’Estaing\, 75007 Paris. Priority access is provided\, but we need to pass the security check\, leave any bags or coats in the cloakroom and get the audiophones. Please be there on time to be sure to enter on time as our tour slot is booked for 18:00 and we must not be late starting. Marta will be there to greet us and has made all necessary arrangements. \nPrice: €30 per person. all-inclusive of entrance fees\, guide charges\, the audiophones / headphones \nOptional Dinner is possible after the visit at the Café Orsay in the same street as the Museum.  Good food and reasonable fixed menu options available.
