National Museum of the Renaissance, Ecouen

This imposing 16th century Chateau-Museum is well worth a visit if you are in the area. The place is huge and gives a good impression of a Renaissance Chateau and art. Fireplaces, paving stones, armour, tapestries, stained glass etc etc

Well kept and charming museum. The staff are polite and welcoming. Entrance is free for anyone 25 and under. There are several floors and rooms to see, so plan your trip accordingly if you like to take your time to view and read the information.

A lovely peaceful scenic place to visit. Full of interesting historical pieces.. A little gift shop. You can walk round the grounds take in the view. Just so relaxing after the hustle n bustle of Paris.

Fantastic museum to visit! If you're into history/art history this castle providers 3 stories of very interesting, well presented and well documented pieces. Staff is readily available and very nice. I made a daytrip out of Paris out of it - few hours in the museum, a very lovely cup of hot chocolate at the café in the Tourist center, a stroll in the park. The entrance fee is very reasonable too and most importantly - there's no crowds of people like in the musums in central Paris.

Hidden gem in picturesque suburban Paris village. Shame in my 2nd visit in 10 years many rooms were closed (on a Sunday!) and they threw us out much earlier than closing time.
