    Amazing experience! What can I say?? I was surprised to see these art objects made usually from plantes. There is a guided tour at 14h30 and at 16h for one hour in French and I highly recommend it! Nice staff and they can give you a postal card if you write the correct names in thr découverte sheet. All in all, I enjoyed this free experience. It is quite close to the touristic area! I thank you so much for everything!!!

    Замечательный музей. В двух шагах от метро. Тихая уютная обстановка. Очень любезный персонал. Мы сегодня хорошо провели с семьёй время. Было интересно. А при выходе нас ждал приятный сюрприз с небольшими подарками для детей. Все остались с приятными впечатлениями и с удовольствием зайдём ещё. 03/06/2026
