Le Musée de La Vie Romantique is at 16, rue Chaptal in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. A nearby métro is PIGALLE. The home of the artist Scheffer and its "dépendances" are a museum run by La Ville de Paris, so the permanent collection is free of charge. There is a tea garden. George Sand and Chopin were visitors here, so there are many things relating to them here, and an interesting collection of sculptures, furniture, jewelry and precious objects, paintings, drawings, casts of hands, and so on. The fascinating Villa Frochot is nearby, as is the atelier of Toulouse-Lautrec, Le Moulin Rouge, Place de Clichy, Place Pigalle, sex shops, Montmartre, music and stero stores, theatres, cabarets, beautiful architecture, the Cemetery of Montmartre, et cetera. This is a popular tourist destination, this area, and though I don't recommend it for dining, North of the large cemetery (which is very interesting) (there is a smaller cemetery up on Montmartre itself, too, as well as a working vineyard), there is a quiet area with some very good, authentic Parisian restaurants, with REAL FOOD and good prices. A street-map is recommended. I am easy to contact via my website, cutecatfaith.com, and can prepare you a customized itinerary, guide you or get you a private guide. A lot of the good, inexpensive or free things in Paris are known only to locals -- there is so much here, it can be quite overwhelming. It can be very disenheartening to see only the crowded main attractions. copyright 2011 Lisa B. Falour, B.S., M.B.A. all rights reserved LISA, INC. (EURL) cutecatfaith.com

My spouse is usually more interested in the old buildings in which these exhibits are found than he is the collections, but this one is good because it's not so huge that it overwhelms you. It's really the house of a famous artist where some other famous people stayed, so what they show here is very "in context." I liked both the house AND the collection. And the price was right!

Oct 21, 2011 - I know, we had a laugh! My French spouse loves that hand, Thing. One thing has been fun is turning each other on to each others' cultures, pop or otherwise. He was born in '67, I was in '57, and it has been an education! You know, the hand was done by Lurch, the butler, in the TV series? Wild, huh?
