The inner garden of the Carnavalet Museum (History
of Paris) located in the Marais. The name Carnavalet originated in
1578 when Françoise de La Baume-Montrevel, widow of
François Kernevenoy, purchased it. The Parisians transformed the name
to "Carnavalet". Although it was resold in 1660, the name remained.
For more information on the buildings visit the
City of Paris website (in French).
