All visitors to Paris should come to this museum, which reveals the secrets of the City of Light from prehistoric times to today. Set up in two contiguous townhouses (the Hôtel Carnavalet was built in 1545 and the Hôtel Le Peletier in the 17th century), you need a whole afternoon to see everything. A plethora of sculptures, paintings and pieces of furniture retrace, each in its own way, the history of Paris. The rooms are decorated to evoke different periods - follow the evolution of furniture from the reign of Henri IV to the beginnings of the 20th century.
