The Lady with the unicorn tapestry.
Where else can you meet unicorns and angels, treasures of gold, stone, stained glass windows, sculpture from Notre Dame ? Discover such wonders with a private tour of the Cluny museum.
Only a few minutes walk from Notre Dame cathedral is one of the forgotten gems of Paris, the Cluny museum. A Medieval house built on top of Roman baths, at nearly 1,900 years old the largest and oldest surviving part of Roman Paris.
Today it houses artistic treasures, statues made of stone, ivory or gold, jewellery, statues from Notre Dame and the Sainte Chapelle.
And with a large intact surviving room of the Roman baths, the Frigidarium, allowing us to imagine how Paris in Roman days had better amenities than most people during the 19th century.

This visit is ideal to combine with the discovery of Notre Dame and the Sainte Chapelle, as some of the statues that adorned them are displayed there. Also do consider a Saint Denis basilica private tour for a great medieval art day.
