I'm back to the online world after a week of scrambling for infrequent online access. And voila...here comes a new post! Today we visited the Musée (Museum) Carnavalet which houses the most comprehensive collection of Paris history around. The collection is housed in a 16th century mansion in the chic Marais quartier (neighborhood). The mansion was owned in the late 1600s by a Madame de Sévigné, who was so attached to her daughter that she lived with her daughter for many years in the daughter's mansion.
We saw lots of scale-models and paintings showing life in Paris basically from 1600 on, with particular emphasis on Louis XVI's reign. Pictures follow...
