Lonely Planet review

Foucault's original pendulum, which he used in 1855 to prove the world turns on its axis, is among the 80,000 instruments, machines and working models displayed at Europe's oldest science and technology museum. The metro station of the same name is one of Paris' most artistic, with gleaming copper panelling and crafts.
