Daily guided tours all summer long

At the museum

Summer tours for the whole family

Wondering if the museum will be open this summer during the Paris Olympic Games?
The answer is YES! Visits, led by comedians, will continue throughout the summer. A great opportunity to discover or rediscover a century-old heritage, imbued with a magic that will leave no generation indifferent.

During the tour, dance the waltz under the eyes of Pierre de Coubertin, Sarah Bernhardt, Caroline Otero… Let yourself be transported by the songs of our automatons. Ride cats, swans, rams, horses, velocipedes and win or lose the café boys’ race. Described as such, the guided tour may not sound like one, but don’t be fooled. You learn as much as you participate. The funfair of the 19th and 20th centuries will hold no secrets for you.

⚠️ Please note, places are limited and reservations are mandatory
🕑 Don’t miss a minute of magic, arrive 10 min early. Tours start on time
👉🏽 The tour is for everyone, ages 5 and up
