Lonely Planet review for Musée De La Musique

The Musée De La Musique is a good place to spend an hour if you have an interest in traditional music. The uncluttered displays in an imaginatively designed exhibition space include tambours (drums), flutes, xylophones and luth (harps) from around the country. Among the highlights are the impressive lan or castagnettes de pieds (foot castanets).

There are informative labels in French throughout, and a guide will show you around (a tip is appreciated) but it's only worthwhile if you speak French; otherwise he'll simply point and say 'drum'.
