The Musée des Arts et Métiers (The Museum of Arts and Crafts) should be well-known to fans of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum – it is here that the device that first showed how the earth rotates is housed.

But there's so much more to this museum. It's like a mix between an inventor's lab and an explorer's secret hideaway. You can see all kinds of tools and technology from throughout the centuries – making your current technology look even more like a dream from the future!

Doing what: Paris Pass

The Paris Pass is terrific. Our passes put us in the front of every line even when the lines were hundreds of people and even at one museum that was not included. The subway pass was for 4 days but actually worked a 5th day even though we used it extensively. The hop on hop off bus was a bit of a disappointment because there was a pre-recorded tour instead of a live guide. Overall it is a GREAT DEAL!
