Bring bread to feed the birds in the park, go to the zoo, and there was another museum close by... the name escapes me... but enough to do to keep everybody occupied for most of a day.

Its a wonderful museum with amazing expositions located in gorgeous building. I would advice anyone to visit. Make sure to pack your smartphone with text recognition and translation software as the museum does not have an english word anywhere on the displays.

Loved the way the skeletons were arranged to show how creatures evolve differently to suit their habitat; birds, fish, and the copper-plate handwritten placards, but best of all were the formal gardens leading towards Gare d'Austerlitz.

We were not disappointed. Walking into the Natural History Museum... More

I accidentally found this place. I thought I was walking from Saint Germaine to Jardin des Tuileries, but instead found this great place.

In the Paleontology Museum there was plenty... More
