Musée Carnavalet: guided visit retracing 5,000 years of Paris history｜France

For a long time, Parisians lived in the labyrinthine streets of their neighborhood without understanding the city as a whole. Even the Seine was hidden from them by the rows of houses from the inhabited bridges.

With this in mind, Thomas Stehlin set out to create a tour that would give the impression of a hot air balloon flight over Paris. From the aircraft, you will be invited to turn the wheel in front of you to go back through 5,000 years of history that saw the capital's remarkable buildings rise one by one.

The meeting point is in the museum courtyard in front of the statue of Louis XIV.
