Carnavalet Museum: 2-Hour Tour Through Parisian History｜France

A visit to the Carnavalet Museum is a unique experience, in that the focus is not solely on art, but on the re-creation of entire rooms from Paris history.

During a 2-hour guided tour you’ll see entire rooms presented as they would have been seen in a particular era. Marvel at the artwork, the furniture, and the details in the windows and wallpapers. Get an appreciation of what it was like to live during that time – unlike seeing an isolated work of art and observing it outside its natural context.

See representations of Paris interiors from B.C. to the early 20th century, experiencing more than 2,000 years of history!

Admire the Hotel de Sevigny, a 17th-century aristocratic mansion set in beautiful gardens. Take in the Medieval, Renaissance, and Neoclassic rooms, a 17th-century ballroom, French Revolution room, First and Second Empire rooms, and the Art Nouveau boutique.
