The Carnavalet is the official museum of Paris, so in that way it is limited. But, Paris really is the center of French history and culture, so in that way it has a broad subject. In addition to the paintings and sculptures, there were rooms of furniture in various styles, and historical objects such as locks of hair of the royal family of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
So...some of the highlights....
This one's for you, Ginny!
This is a recreation of the rooms in which Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were confined before they were guillotined. Much of the furniture and furnishings are original.
Apparently the billiards were played a little differently.
