The most underrated museum in Paris: the Cité de l’Architecture et du Design.
Right inside the Palais de Chaillot, just opposite the Eiffel Tower, this museum is the world’s largest space devoted to architecture and the way we live. It explores how people build, imagine and transform their cities - from medieval cathedrals to futuristic eco-design.
Inside you’ll discover:
•Life-size casts of France’s most iconic monuments
•Models of modern and future cities
•Innovative design and sustainable materials
•And of course - a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower
It’s a place where history meets creativity. It asks us: What will tomorrow’s cities look like ?
