I was just rereading my trip report from Nov because I needed some info for a friend. It got me to thinking, what is my favorite museum''After this last trip I had to add the Musee Bourdelle. But which comes first, the Petit Palais or the Bourdelle. I love the layout of the PP and they always have great temporary exhibits, but the Bourdelle with it;s little hidden green spaces is so pleasant and the woeks are so overwhelming
So what are yours?

I LOVE the Bourdelle too, but for a museum that I can keep going back to and enjoy every time, it would have to be the Carnavalet. I continually discover new things there.

I agree with you Darcy about the Carnavelet - first I like to go to Place des Vosges and then walk down to the Carnavelet - I like to look at their beautiful gardens and then go inside - never get tired of going there as I always see so much that I missed on the previous visit. I also enjoy the D'Orsay very much.

So far, I'd have to agree with the others on the Carnavalet. BUT, I've never visited the Nissim de Camondo and plan to this fall. So my favorite may change.

You'll love the Nissim de Camado, for the house, the furnishings and the story behind it. If you haven't been to the Shoah Memorial try to see that too. It was one of the places that impressed both of us the most on ourlast trip.

Jody, I went to the Shoah Museum with my teen ami last December. The only quibble I have is that the museum would have much more effect if they had audio guides. Although the pictures are evocative, to be sure, my French isn't good enough to take everything there in. And I dearly wish I could have...
Having learned the story behind the Nissim de Camondo, I can't wait to visit. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about it.
