    New Entrance for Musée Carnavalet

    December 8, 2014 /

    Musée Carnavalet has a new entrance on rue des Francs-Bourgeois. Located in the Merchant Drapers’ house  (1660), it is bright, roomy and faces the garden. The cloakrooms and lockers are at the old entrance area. Using the Francs-Bourgeois entrance, pick up your head sets and take the arcade across the garden. The cloakroom (vestiare) and lockers are free of charge for individual visitors and groups, to store coats, large umbrellas, rucksacks, etc, but not large items, nor valuables such as cameras, money, identity documents, fur coats, etc. Suitcases are not allowed. Put in your coin, take the key. Your coin is returned when you set the key back in the…

    THATLou Hunts Treasure at the Louvre

    November 5, 2013 /

    The Louvre treasure hunt begins when "Daisy de Plume" sends you an email dropping hunting hints written with tongue in cheek humor. Once you set off on a THATLou (Treasure Hunt at the Louvre) treasure hunt, your eyes capture a multitude of treasure in one and half hours. Add to this the excitement of looking for specific treasures, taking specific photos for bonus points, posing in front of treasure in specific poses, learning to write a limerick, experimenting with strategy and naming your team.

    Good Deals for A Boat, A Train and 4 Museums!

    August 28, 2013 /

    A partnership exists between the Seine boat cruise company Vedettes de Paris and Eurostar and the Museum of Modern Art (avenue President Wilson) one of the city museums of Paris. Everyone loves a discount. Two discounts are better than one. Coming to Paris, a cruise on the Seine is essential. Visiting a museum is essential.  In the works is a discount for the cruise and a museum. When you buy a ticket for the cruise, you can buy a reduced ticket for the museum and vice versa. When you travel with Eurostar from London to Paris, get 2 for 1 entry to all paying exhibitions at Musée d’Art moderne de la…

    Paris Museums using “Apps” for Audio Guides

    May 12, 2011 /

    Look for Paris museums to use phone applications (apps) for their audio guides more frequently. As an amateur art critic, I am a big fan of audio guides. They provide in-depth background information on exhibition selections. They make you visit more efficient if you are short on time. The availability of languages depends on the exhibit or the museum. Generally, the museum’s audio guides for children are only available in French. Downloading an application offers several benefits: use your own headsets and phone/mp3 player for the visit; re-listen to the highlights again as often as you like and pretend you were there. The price might be cheaper for the download…
