Sur ce site on trouve toutes sortes d'informations, sauf des donnees concernant les collections du musee qui meritent cependant d'etre vues ! Il faut passer par le site de la ville de Paris pour trouver l'inventaire Carnavalet (sous "culture")
Carnavalet is small, but exquisite and totally fascinating. The models of the city during various periods are cool, as is the exhibit on Lutece (Roman Paris). But best are the little things, like Proust's bedroom or locks of hair from Marie Antoinette and family during their pre-guillotine imprisonment. If you get off on history and its objects, this is a wonderful and relatively unknown place (i.e., you're not fighting for standing room with half the tourists in Europe!). The location in the Marais is also really beautiful.
