Guimet Museum

by wander_notes  • 
Guimet Museum
Use the Southeast Asian galleries as your starting point at the Guimet. Find the stone portrait of Jayavarman VII and give yourself time to look at the Khmer sculpture around it. You can build a visit around a single region instead of trying to take in the museum’s entire collection.

Maison de Balzac

Maison de Balzac
Slip into Balzac’s house in Passy and look at the desk where the writer worked. Start with the study if you’re curious about how much fiction could come out of a small room. The permanent collection is free, and parts of the house have limited mobility access.

Musée du Vin

Musée du Vin
Go into former quarries in Passy for a museum where wine is a history of tools and labor. The vaulted cellars make the setting part of the visit. Save it for a day when you want some context for what ends up in a glass.

Musée de La Poste

Musée de La Poste
Follow the mail from early delivery routes to airplanes and traveling post offices. Look for the miniature railway cars that carried sorting rooms, a detail that gives the history of delivery some physical scale. Pick this if you like stamps, transport, or both.

Villa La Roche

Villa La Roche
Walk up the gallery ramp in Le Corbusier’s Maison La Roche and see the room change as you move. It’s a short architecture visit built around the experience of the house itself. There’s no elevator, and visitors with limited mobility can access the entrance hall only.
