With so much to see, where do we begin? To help us navigate this infinite maze of wonder, we explore nine of the most emblematic Paris-inspired masterpieces and the artists behind it. This fun infographic prepared by Raffles Hotel also highlights the area the location is inspired by, where the painting can be found today, and provides an insight some lesser-known facts about the artwork.   Produced by Le Royal Monceau Raffles

    There is an error contained in the list of Paris paintings : Rainy Day in Paris by Caillebotte is NOT located in a Paris museum, but is owned by the Art Institute of Chicago.
