Venture back to when Monet, Renoir, Cassatt, Toulouse-Lautrec, and other masters lived and created together in the City of Light, capturing the complexities of late 19th- and early 20th-century life in groundbreaking canvases. Unlock the doors of hidden ateliers and stand before Impressionist masterpieces during exclusive museum tours.
