The Musée National du Moyen Age - Thermes et Hote de Cluny is widely known as Musée de Cluny, after its home in the Gothic Hôtel de Cluny in the fifth arrondissement. Its two buildings house the Thermes de Cluny, cold-water pools dating back to Roman times; there is also the “Column of the Boatman,” originally discovered underneath Notre Dame and is the oldest-known sculpture in Paris.

The actual museum includes the iconic “The Lady and the Unicorn” that is the iconic example of medieval tapestry work. Also of note are the “illuminated manuscripts,” intricately decorated documents laden with gold and silver paints that make them appear as if they are lit from within.

Doing what: Paris Pass

Intra-city travel within Paris is obnoxiously expensive! This provides you with Metro passes which you can utilize and save up on a lot of money! If you are not looking to splurge on travel within the city, then you definitely need to get these passes. Additionally, you get Skip The Line passes to various historical sights in the city which is a life saver as some of the tourist attractions can be very, very crowded! Also, you get a Bateaux Parisian boat ride which is worth taking!
