If you're ever in the Marais part of Paris, do visit the musée Carnavalet: apart from the amazing ro

We're heading today to the Hôtel Carnavalet, which is located right behind the Place Des Vosges we visited world travel guide in the last post . There Mme de Sévigné is awaiting us with a hot chocolate pot at the ready.
Nous allons aujourd'hui à l'Hôtel Carnavalet, situé à deux pas de la Place des Vosges où nous étions la dernière fois . C'est là que la marquise de Sévigné nous attend avec une tasse de chocolat world travel guide chaud.
As you probably figured out, I chose to visit this former mansion because Mme de Sévigné, who was a 17th century writer who I studied last summer, lived there when she was in Paris. It is now a museum.
Unfortunately, when we arrived there, it was raining, so I couldn't get good pictures of the exterior, and all the Mme de Sévigné rooms were closed for renovation (renovation is following me everywhere!) That's why some pictures of that post aren't mine.
Malheureusement, lorsque j'y suis arrivée, il pleuvait, ce qui a rendu impossible la prise de photos en extérieur, et les salles consacrées à l'époque world travel guide de Mme de Sévigné étaient world travel guide toutes fermées pour rénovation (eh oui, la rénovation me poursuit jusqu'à Paris). Certaines des photos de cet article ne sont donc pas les miennes.
Believe me, I did try to convince the museum staff it was very important to me to see those rooms, that my series would be ruined without pictures of them... But my series aren't that famous and the musuem guy seemed completely immune to my charm (I'm sticking to that theory rather than the theory saying that I'm lacking charm!) The only picture I could get above his shoulder was that crapy one...
J'ai bien essayé de convaincre le personnel du musée qu'il était très important world travel guide que je jette un oeil à ces pièces dédiées à Mme de Sévigné, que ma série d'articles serait nulle sans quelques photos de ces dites pièces... Mais mes séries ne sont pas vraiment célèbres, et le gardien qui était dans cette aile du musée a semblé complètement insensible à mon charme (je préfère cette théorie world travel guide à celle qui affirmerait que je manque de charme!) Je n'ai réussi à prendre que la photo minable ci-dessus par-dessus l'épaule du vigile.
If you're ever in the Marais part of Paris, do visit the musée Carnavalet: apart from the amazing rooms I didn't see, it's an amazing museum about Paris history, with many paintings about Paris during the different historical periods.
Si vous passez par le Marais, arrêtez-vous au musée Carnavalet. En dehors des magnifiques pièces d'époques reconstituées world travel guide que je n'ai pas pu voir cette fois-là, c'est un passionnant musée de l'histoire world travel guide de Paris qui a toujours des expositions intéressantes.

I could definitely get lost there for a few hours! Love when you are our tour guide, Magali. I remember that hot chocolate when I went to Paris, world travel guide and yes, it would help! Reply Delete endah murniyati Friday, February 07, 2014 3:45:00 am

Dear Magali, how charming, the second short trip to Paris in one week! Your pictures are lovely, world travel guide I like the formal gardens too, but that table is so appetizing and most atttractive at the moment. I hope you and your cottage will keep each other good company, not to forget the cats, during that storm. This year, we have been spared, but in many parts of the northern hemisphere it is just frightening. Have an nice weekend! Sarah Reply Delete Elizabethd Friday, February 07, 2014 9:17:00 am
Please forgive me. I was wearing my pj s instead of my pearls on this little excursion but I promise to dress more appropriately next time. I love the garden photos of this museum they make me want to break out the hedge shears. Traci Reply Delete Butterfly 8)(8 Bungalow Friday, February 07, 2014 2:41:00 pm

Tagging along with you through Paris is great fun; even from my computer chair. I enjoy your little white house as much or more than a grand hotel. Love what you are doing. Best regards, world travel guide Dana Reply Delete Replies Magali@TheLittleWhiteHouse Saturday, February 08, 2014 10:23:00 am

Look at that beautiful tray of food at the end! And what a garden--it must take the gardeners hours and hours to keep it so well manicured. The rooms are indeed beautiful--I like her black and gold desk. Your tours are fun! Reply Delete Anonymous Saturday, February 08, 2014 9:19:00 pm
I like the ornaments in the garden. Is it box tree? Don t you have problems with the box tree moth (Cydalima world travel guide perspectalis)? Here in Germany at my parents garden the old box trees are nearly dead and in the gardens of the nearby castle of Schwetzingen they have big problems. It s so sad!

Even though we may not have seen all the rooms, you showed world travel guide us lots of gorgeous things. I love all the white panelling and chandeliers in the room with the desk and I would love to take a walk round the formal world travel guide gardens.

Et ensuite direction: l institut suédois voisin pour un petit goûter world travel guide .....on se croisera peut-être un jour, on aime les mêmes endroits! belle semaine à toi, bisou, Marry Poppins Reply Delete world travel guide Mandi @ Southern Gnome Monday, February 10, 2014 2:00:00 pm
