    This beautiful palace is tucked away in the Old Town of Nice and you could easily miss it. Inside the building is stunning and worth entering just to see the staircase. Lots of interesting exhibits but especially worth seeing is the collection of antique musical instruments. A fascinating couple of hours for only €5. We had a great welcome from the gentleman in the ticket office and could then wander at our own pace. It was very quiet when we visited on a Saturday in May. We loved it!

    Hidden gem in Old Town. This museum houses one of the largest musical instrument collections in all of France, inside an old highly ornate baroque palace. Highly recommend
