To prepare for your visit

Museum app

The official “Musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris” application is designed to accompany your visit.
With the visit companion, you can prepare for your arrival, register your favourites and, above all, discover the collections of the City of Paris’s oldest museum via five chronological itineraries.

You can also select the highlights itinerary so you don’t miss the museum’s key works.

For each itinerary, adults and children, you will find a selection of works to discover in the museum collections. They are accompanied by an explanatory note that you can read or listen to. Audio content for the children’s itineraries has been specially designed for younger audiences.

The visit companion is available in six languages: French, English, Spanish, Russian, German and Chinese, and will soon be available in Japanese.
