You\u2019ve certainly heard, or have visited, these famous landmarks but the City of Love\u2019s true magic lies in its lesser known, hidden gems. Let\u2019s take a look at a few of the more intimate museums in Paris; those tucked away amongst the many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bobeckmedia.com\/aesu\/blog\/hidden-stories-cathedrale-notre-dame-de-paris\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cobblestone streets.<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUS\u00c9E<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DE LA VIE ROMANTIQUE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A former painter\u2019s home turned museum, the Musee de la Vie Romantique was once the meeting place for artistic and intellectual lights of the day such as Chopin and Rossini. It\u2019s now devoted to Sand and Scheffer\u2019s memorabilia, and even as a charming garden tea salon if you\u2019re looking for an idyllic place to spend the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUS\u00c9E COGNACQ-JAY<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This private mansion is your chance to take a look inside of the live\u2019s of the Parisian elite.

Equipt with nature, animals, and taxidermy, groups of all ages can spend the day exploring the many rooms. Be careful, you may trip over the two-story giraffe while perusing the upper level. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CERNUSCHI MUSEUM FOR ASIAN ART<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the oldest museum in Paris, and France\u2019s second most important collection of Chinese and Asian art. Some of the pieces span prehistoric to modern times, and the museum continues to be enriched over the years through private donations. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUS\u00c9E JACQUEMART-ANDR\u00c9<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This 19th century mansion is straight out of the grand palaces you\u2019ve seen in Disney movies and period dramas.
