The increased competition means higher standards across the board, and today, there are some truly award-worthy venues taking visitor experiences to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why every year, Tiqets\u2019 Remarkable Venue Awards series spotlights the museums and attractions that are pushing the travel and tourism industry forward in exciting ways and providing five-star visitor experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual winners are based on reviews by over 850,000 customers as well as industry expert judges, like Dominique de La Tour, president of Association des Journalistes du Tourisme, and Laurent Queige, Director of Welcome City Lab.

Located inside an old orangerie in the heart of Paris, this museum is notable for having an impressive amount of Monet paintings in a decadent, yet light and airy setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monet\u2019s larger-than-life Water Lilies are definitely the star attraction that you\u2019ll have seen in films and Instagram feeds, but they&#8217;re far from the only reason to visit. There\u2019s an impressive collection of works by C\u00e9zanne, Matisse, Picasso, Renoir, and Rousseau, among others to see as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With close to a thousand 5-star reviews on Tiqets.com, this relatively small treasure trove of modern art wonders punches well above its weight. With world-class curation, amazing exhibitions, and a relaxing friendly atmosphere, Mus\u00e9e de l&#8217;Orangerie is setting the standard for visitor experiences in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"product\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-content-ids=\"974438\" data-tq-campaign=\"RVA2021France\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-museum-nbspmusee-marmottan-monet\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Museum:  Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/unnamed-1.jpeg\" alt=\"View of the Musee Marmottan Monet, an impressionist paintings museum located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.\" class=\"wp-image-172209\" style=\"width:1024px;height:680px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c;flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Badge-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169985\" style=\"width:201px;height:120px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c38c52;background-color:#0d1a3c\"><em><em><em><em><em><em> &#8220;So great to see these magnificent paintings.

If that wasn&#8217;t reason enough to go, then its enormous collection of work by other Impressionist icons should be enough to seal the deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors can admire around 100 of Monet&#8217;s masterworks, including &#8216;Impression, Sunrise&#8217;, which gave rise to the Impressionist movement, and his much-loved &#8216;Water lilies&#8217;. Also on display are pieces by the likes of Gauguin, Renoir, and Degas, taken from Monet&#8217;s personal collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet offers the perfect balance between an elite museum and a boutique art gallery, with its relatively intimate setting belying the treasure trove of artistic riches within.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are always fascinating temporary exhibitions on show at the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet too, which are also included with regular admission.

Afterward, you&#8217;ll dress cooler and be more aloof and attractive, but while watching, you&#8217;ll be laughing your face off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presented as a series of lessons to help you learn how to behave like a real Parisian in a number of different situations &#8211; while shopping, on the metro, in a restaurant\u2026 this show takes aim at residents of the City of Light, while poking fun at other cultures along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"product\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-content-ids=\"886228\" data-tq-campaign=\"RVA2021France\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"most-innovative-venue-paris-montparnasse-top-of-the-city\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most Innovative Venue:<\/strong> <strong>Paris Montparnasse Top of the City<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/unnamed-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172213\" style=\"width:1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#0d1a3c;flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Badge-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169985\" style=\"width:201px;height:120px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c38c52;background-color:#0d1a3c\"><em><em><em><em><em><em>  &#8220;It was very smooth as there were no queues.

The emblematic monument eventually won people over and became the beloved icon of the city. But it\u2019s not the only tower providing epic views over the City of Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it may buck the trend of typical Parisian architecture, the Montparnasse Tower offers some seriously spectacular 360\u00b0 views of Paris, which you can enjoy after a ride on one of Europe&#8217;s fastest elevators that whisks you up to the 56th-floor observatory in just 38 seconds! In addition to the spellbinding views, there are viewpoint indicators, films, touchscreens, and exhibitions on the French capital to get immersed in too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 56th floor also houses the highest restaurant in Paris, Le Ciel de Paris, so you can tuck into fine dining with equally fine views. If 56 floors isn&#8217;t quite enough for you, you can continue on up to the outdoor observatory on the 59th floor. Located 210 meters above street level, this is the place to cast your gaze across the city, hum a little Edith Piaf, and hold the hand of whoever you&#8217;re with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It really is one of the top things to do in Paris!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"product\" data-partner=\"tiqetsblog\" data-content-ids=\"973821\" data-tq-campaign=\"RVA2021France\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"we-hope-youve-enjoyed-this-guide-to-2021s-best-museums-and-attractions-in-france-for-a-full-overview-of-the-winners-across-all-countries-including-spain-italy-the-netherlands-the-uk-and-ireland-and-th\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed this guide to 2021\u2019s best museums and attractions in France.<\/strong> For a full overview of the winners across all countries (including Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland, and the United States), check out this page, and vote for your Best Global Attraction pick for the chance to win a year&#8217;s supply of free tickets!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best museums and attractions in the Netherlands for 2021 have been decided!
