CLUNY MUSEUM - GREAT FOR A SHORTER VISIT

Otherwise known as the National Museum of the Middle Ages, the Musée de Cluny “Cluny Museum” is a delightful little museum in the latin quarter. It has recently been completely refurbished, the staff are ever so friendly and it’s often quoted as one of the favorites by tour guides themselves. It’s a museum experience without the hordes of other visitors as you can find at the Louvre, for example.

For us, the highlight here is the frigidarium “the cooling room”. Here you can descend to where the ancient Roman thermal baths were. It’s superbly preserved and allows you to really imagine Parisians of the time enjoying the benefits of Roman civilization. If you are like tapestries then you will be able to enjoy the six tapestries of the Lady and the Unicorn.

• Tickets: €9 during temporary exhibition times, €5 otherwise
  
  
• Groups of 10 or more should have headphones
  
  
• A visit of 1 – 1.5 hours is enough for most groups

ANDRE JAQUEMART MUSEUM - GREAT FOR TEA & CAKE ALSO

It can be a little difficult to describe this gem of a museum to those who haven’t visited. Many museum tour guides describe it like visiting someone’s house, and that is exactly what you are doing as it was the home of Edouard André and Nellie André. To summarize, they were extremely wealthy and devoted their lives to collecting art, especially from Italy where each year they often spent many months.

The museum is not too far to walk from the Champs Elysées and can be a nice visit alongside a day of shopping nearby. Entering from the busy Boulevard Haussmann is like leaving Paris in a way, as the scale of the mansion is so surprising in central Paris.

The café Jacqeumart-André is worth a visit even if you’re not too into museums. With a beautiful interior and a terrace overlooking the courtyard, it’s the perfect place to enjoy pastries from the best Parisian Patisseries. The quintessential Parisian tea/coffee & cake experience! At lunch they also serve light meals such as salads and quiches, but it can get very busy so arrive early or book. It is also possible to visit the café without paying the entrance to the museum.

As this museum can be hard to picture in the mind, here is a link to their official website to get a better idea: André Jacquemart Museum

• For individual tickets: € 14.50 (Inc temp exhibition)
  
  
• For group tickets (more than 15): € 12 per person
  
  
• We charge a booking fee of €3 per person to secure group time slots
