Visit the Musée de l'Homme
Your Grands Boulevards hotel guides you through the completely renovated museum.
After a six-year renovation, the Musée de l'Homme reopened its doors on October 17, 2015. A must-see site to visit during your weekend in Paris.
The Musée de l'Homme is located in the Palais de Chaillot, built for the 1937 Universal Exhibition. To get there from your 3-star hotel in Paris, the easiest way is to take the metro from Bonne nouvelle station (line 8) to Les Invalides, where you take the RER C, Champs de Mars Tour Eiffel exit.
The interior of this majestic Art Deco building has been completely refurbished, with bright, spacious rooms combining wood and glass to create a decor as pure as it is aesthetically pleasing. The Galerie de l'Homme is the heart of the establishment, focusing on three key questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? In this section, meet Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man.

- One of the walls illustrates the diversity of languages - over 7,000 for the 7 billion human beings that we are. To listen to the extracts, pull on the plastic tongues placed on the planisphere.
