Musée Jacquemart-André
The Jacquemart-André is a little gem - from the gorgeous Baroque-style mansion to the artwork it holds. Discover rhe astonishing apartments, the winter garden, the collection of 18th-century art work, or the temporary exhibitions that it welcomes twice a year on iconic Old Master painters.
Musée Picasso
Many galleries around the world display Picasso's work, but the Musée Picasso is one of the largest (over 5000 pieces). To showcase them all, the museum rotates its display every 6 months - so that no two visits are ever the same. It's all housed in a gorgeous (and very Parisian) 18th-century mansion.

Musée Galliera -
History & Fashion
An absolute favourite with the locals, the Musée Galliera rotates its (huge) collection of historical costumes in temporary exhibitions all year long. The exhibits display brilliantly how modern designers find inspiration in French fashion from the 1600s until the present day.
Grand Palais & Petit Palais
The Grand Palais and Petit Palais were both built during the Belle Epoque, with impressive glass ceilings and ironwork characteristic of the age. They now house exhibitions on artists from different eras, including Matisse, Cézanne or Raphael.
Musée des arts décoratifs
The Musée des arts décoratifs is housed in the palace of the Louvre - but few aside from the locals ever visit it. It's a huge complex, with collections featuring the history of jewellery, of furniture and the decorative arts, and fashion, from the 1600s to the present.
Musée Carnavalet
The Musée Carnavalet is a local favourite. Housed in a beautiful 16th century mansion in the Marais, it has an impressive collection of Baroque sculptures, objects and even entire living rooms transferred here from Paris' most extravagant 17th century households.
Maison Eugène Delacroix
The Maison Eugène Delacroix is worth a visit for anyone wanting a quiet afternoon in the company of the famous 19th-century painter. Take a fascinating look at Delacroix's Parisian home and his studio, where he painted many of the masterpieces now hanging at the Louvre.
Musée Marmottan-Monet
The Marmottan-Monet is full of Monet's works, and a good alternative if you've already seen the Orangerie and the d'Orsay. You'll see the iconic Impressions of a Sunrise, that gave Impressionism its name, and many other works by Monet, Renoir, and others, housed in a private mansion - like so many other small Parisian museums.
Tour Description :
Originally built as a church inthe 1700s, the Pantheon was repurposed as a mausoleum at the Revolution, and has housed the tombs of French's great intellectuals (such as Vitor Hugo and Voltaire) ever since. Right next door is the famous La Sorbonne university, France's ivy league institution since the 15th century.
