Skip the ticket lines and gain direct access to the oldest museum in Paris. Roam through the captivating French Revolution exhibit, focusing on the pivotal years of 1793 to 1794. Imagine the intensity of the revolution, the political intrigue, and the societal upheaval that shaped modern France in that era with an array of artifacts, coins, and paintings.
The Carnavalet Museum is the oldest museum in Paris, dedicated entirely to the city's rich and complex history. Located in two elegant mansions in the Marais district, it showcases everything from ancient artifacts and medieval relics to revolutionary memorabilia and 20th-century ephemera. Visitors can explore beautifully reconstructed period rooms, view personal belongings of historical figures like Marie Antoinette and Marcel Proust, and admire exhibits on major events such as the French Revolution and the transformation of Paris under Baron Haussmann. With free entry to its permanent collections, it’s a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand the true spirit of Paris.
