Lonely Planet review for Musée de la Magie
The Magic Museum in the 16th-century caves (cellars) of the house of the Marquis de Sade examines the ancient arts of magic, optical illusion and sleight of hand, with regular magic shows (last one usually at 6pm) included. Some visitors may feel that the displays and very basic magic tricks do not justify the high admission fee. In fact, a collection of antique wind-up toys once included in the museum now forms the Musée des Automates, which is under the same roof and keeps identical hours. A combined ticket costs a whopping € 12/9.
