Lonely Planet review

The majestic Palais Rohan was built between 1732 and 1742 as a residence for the city's princely bishops. In the basement, the Musée Archéologique (audioguide included in ticket price) takes you from the Palaeolithic period to AD 800. On the ground floor is the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, which has a series of lavish rooms featuring the lifestyle of the rich and powerful during the 18th century.

Louis XV and Marie-Antoinette once slept here - in 1744 and 1770, respectively. On the 1st floor the Musée des Beaux-Arts has a rather staid collection of French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Flemish masters from the 14th to the 19th centuries.
