Musee Carnevalet (sp?), Bridget in the foreground reading map. This is a pretty green and peaceful place in 16th century (pretty sure) "hotel." It is a museum of daily parisian life and is separated by siecles, kings, and revolutions (all rolled in to one). A must see. There is a ring with Marie Antoinette's hair woven together with her best friend's hair (Mme Lamballe- who was gruesomley killed, her head paraded on a pike after they took it to have the hair done at a barber (because it was all bloody and messed up) for the mob to show Marie Antoinette her favorite through the tower's windows). Umm, yeah, well, it's a pretty place with room furnished in the approprite eras. quite impressive (really). some huge rooms and staircases, and ancient furniture.
