Carnavalet museum in Paris


Paris It is one of the most visited cities in the world, in addition to being the most romantic and offering the most places to visit. Among all that you can visit, there are undoubtedly many museums, one of the best in the world. The one I'm going to talk to you about today is Carnavalet museum, dedicated to the history of the city and where you can see how its development has been from its origins to the present day. It is in the Le Marais neighborhood, specifically at 23 rue de Sévigné.

In the Carnavalet Museum he exhibits wonderful collections with large archaeological remains, landscapes of the Paris of centuries past, decorative elements of historical buildings that they are no longer standing, historical scenes or that have some important anecdote, portraits of important Parisians and various testimonies of what daily life is like in the city. An excellent way to find out what this city really is like and how it got here.

Among the many objects that you can see on display are some prehistoric canoes that were used by the Parisii tribes or various furniture in the room where the illustrious Marcel Proust worked on his most important novels. Of course you cannot miss an extensive collection of paintings in which you will see the evolution of the city from the point of view of various artists. Very interesting are also the exhibitions on the French Revolution and a replica of the Bastille prison, which is spectacular.

The museum is located in two mansions that are together: the Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau Hotel and the Carnavalet Hotel, spectacular buildings that also have a lot of history to tell. Inside you can admire decorative elements and walls that go from the Middle Ages to Art Novou.
