1Musée de Cluny (National Museum of the Middle Ages)

For history lovers, the Musée de Cluny offers a glimpse into medieval France. Set in a 15th-century mansion built on the ruins of ancient Roman baths, the museum houses one of the most significant collections of medieval art in Europe.

The highlight is the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, an exquisite series of six tapestries considered one of the greatest masterpieces of medieval art. The museum also features an array of sculptures, manuscripts, and artifacts from the Middle Ages, as well as the remains of the Gallo-Roman baths that once occupied the site.
