Lonely Planet review

The Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume is housed in an erstwhile jeu de paume (royal tennis court), built in 1861 during the reign of Napoleon III in a corner of the Jardin des Tuileries. Once home to much of France's national collection of impressionist art (now housed in the Musée d'Orsay), the gallery now stages innovative exhibitions of contemporary art.

A new branch of the gallery, the Jeu de Paume - Site Sully in the Hôtel de Sully in the Marais, concentrates on top-notch photography.
