A while ago I made a quick stop at the Musée de la Vie Romantique, 16 rue Chaptal, 75009. I am not sure why, but I expected it to be a museum of romance in the modern sense of the word. What I found was a museum that was dedicated to the 19th century era of French Romanticism. The main floor is filled with a variety of mementos of George Sand, a writer and leader of the Romantic movement, while the upper floor contains a number of paintings and sculptures from that time period.
Although I did enjoy the museum, the picturesque garden with a teahouse was the most appealing part of the visit for me. It was a perfect spot to enjoy a drink away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
P.S. The teahouse is open from March to October and the museum is free of charge for all permanent collections.
Ah oui, La Museé de Romantisme avec sa maison du thè est une trésor cachée à La Ville de Lumières!
