The City of Paris maintains a slew of museums and the permanent collections are free to visit, and the Carnavalet Museum in Marais is a must. It tells you the about the times and history of Louis XIV, XV and XVI and the French Revolution. The life of Louis XIV is well presented, the ancien regime and the graphic depiction of its end.. and the chaos which was created and ended with the death of Robespierre..I had a very good guide book with me which explained rooms one by one and it was good indeed.
