What to do and see in Muette, Ile-de-France: The Best Museums

February 26, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Musee Marmottan Monet

Located in a 19th-century mansion, this museum's fabulous collection of Impressionist paintings ranks second only behind the Musée d'Orsay.

Beautiful museum a little way out of the city near the Bois de Boulogne, well worth the short trip, the Monets and the Morisot paintings are just a few of the lovely exhibits

Palais de Chaillot

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

The Palais de Chaillot is an exceptional building. From a distance it looks as if it is ready to fly with those huge wing spans ready to take off! It was built in 1937 for the Universal Exhibition and it is home to several museums and a theatre. There is also a restaurant on site. We first saw it from atop the Eiffel Tower and it was a wonderfully amazing sight.

Musee Clemenceau

Reviewed By Taxidevil - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Georges Clemenceau was a French statesman and as my husband is very interested in history we decided to visit. After a little trouble finding the entrance we were admitted to the museum. Initially we looked around his apartment with an audio guide and then went upstairs to see a modern exhibition of Clemenceau's life. he had a very interesting life with many famous friends including Claude Very worthwhile visit.

Musee de L'Homme

Reviewed By ivocarneiro - Macau, China

When you are the father of a 13 years old daughter and a nine years old son, traveling to great world cities and visiting therein the most famous museums usually is grueling. The kids get tired, are confused with the displays, want to eat, to play with their mobile phones, and one wonders why they don't enjoy as you these unique wonders? Then, you criticize their "lazy" iPhone alike "civilization," therefore forgetting that when we were children, we had the same struggle with museums. Let alone when they are "old" and unable to update collections, displays, and the way they related to young people. In this context, it is surprising that anytime we visit Paris, my children do want to return to the Musée de l'Homme. They love it: the modern display teaching human evolution; the elegant and interactive displays explaining cultural diversity; the quiz on world cultures from Africa to Oceania presented in funny, pleasant ways. And the Eiffel Tower is always there, showing its misteries through the museum windows. They play, enjoy, interact, buy their memorabilia, and want to return again and again. Conclusion: kids can enjoy a lot a museum if the museum knows how to talk with them. The Musée de l'Homme do know! Congratulations!

Maison de Balzac

Nestled on the hillsides of Passy, the House of Balzac is the only one of the Parisian residences of the novelist which survives today. It was in the studyroom that Balzac corrected, from 1840 to 1847, « La Comédie humaine ». Through the presentation of portraits of the artist or his characters, paintings, engravings, drawings, and using an original scenography, the museum encourages the visitor to wonder about Balzac and suggests original paths for lead to the discovery as well as to the rereading of La « Comédie humaine ».

Reviewed By nycmug

This is a museum for lovers of 18th cent. literature, of quirky places and out-of-the-way museums. It's really only a couple of tiny rooms where Balzac spent about 10 years writing some of his best work and on a sunny day the garden is charming, with a distinctly homegrown feel to it. I lucked out with a side exhibition of Grandville, one of his closest collaborators (illustrating his work) and was completely taken on my first visit, having stumbled onto it during a long walk back from the Marmottan (also a very nice museum to visit). This is not the jaw-dropping experience provided by the Louvre, Orsay or Jacquemart. It is instead their opposite: their antidote, far from any selfie crowd or noise, with a quiet but engaging view of Paris from the Passy neighborhood in the 16th Arrondisement. Some may resent the 7-8 euros to get in but I found myself returning several times, dragging friends and family, for this quietly enjoyable visit to the past.
