Musée Carnavalet: your stunning B2B event in the heart of historic Marais

At the Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris, visitors have a rendezvous with the memory of the capital. And all this within the Renaissance walls ofone of the oldest private mansions in Paris, long occupied by the famous letter-writer Madame de Sévigné.

In 1866, this jewel became the first museum dedicated to the history of Paris. In 1989, the Hôtel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau was attached to the original museum. Today, the whole complex forms an enchanting cultural and heritage site in the exceptional Marais district of Paris. After closing for major renovations in 2016, the museum reopened in 2021.
