Lonely Planet review for Musée Carnavalet

This museum charts the history of Paris from the Gallo-Roman period to modern times. Some of the nation’s most important documents, paintings and objects from the French Revolution are here (rooms 101 to 113), as is Fouquet’s magnificent art nouveau jewellery shop from the rue Royale (room 142) and Marcel Proust’s cork-lined bedroom from his apartment on bd Haussmann (room 147), in which he wrote most of the 7350-page À la Recherche du Temps Perdu (In Search of Lost Time).
