The Best Museums to Visit in France



Did you know that over 90 million tourists flock to France each year?

With so much to do, see, and eat, it's no wonder why people can't get enough. Although there are plenty of reasons why France is so popular, the museums are some of the country's greatest attractions.

Do you want to learn about the most famous museums in France? Keep reading for 7 of the best museums you have to visit at least once in your lifetime.

1. The Louvre (Paris)
Not only is the Louvre the biggest museum ever built, but it's also the most iconic. With over 380,000 pieces in their collection, you can spend the whole day getting lost in world history. Going on a guided tour is the best way to immerse yourself and learn interesting historical context.

2. Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux (Bayeux)
If you're interested in Medieval history, then you'll be amazed by the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. This museum is home to a 70-meter long tapestry that tells the story of the Battle of Hastings. While these historical events are interesting on their own, art lovers will appreciate the craft.

3. Musée d'Orsay (Paris)
The Musée d'Orsay is one of the most interesting museums in Paris, France because it's housed in an abandoned railway station. Inside you'll be able to explore paintings, sculptures, photos, and even furniture from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

4. Musée Jacquemart-André (Paris)
The Musée Jacquemart-André has been called one of the most charming art museums in Paris, France for good reason. Although it's not as big or famous as the Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay, you can still admire tons of artwork from big names like Picasso and Rousseau.

5. Carrières de Lumières (Les Baux-de-Provence)
If you're interested in a unique experience, then the Carrières de Lumières is one of the best museums in France for you. The reason why everyone should visit at least once is because all of the art is projected onto the walls. As you explore the exhibits, the atmosphere is amplified with music and multi-media effects that make everything appear 3D.

6. Musée Fabre (Montpellier)
The Musée Fabre is a gorgeous, airy museum that boasts some of the best European art that's been collected over the past 600 years. Some noteworthy artists you'll find here include Jacques-Louis David, Géricault, and Monet.

7. Musée Ingres (Montauban)
This museum was built inside of a bishops' palace in 1867 after the artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres donated over 4,000 pieces. Since then, the museum's collection has expanded to include even more local artists throughout history.
