PADAM, PADAM, EDITH PIAF MUSEUM

France's musical icon

EDITH PIAF MUSEUM

The Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Centre Pompidou will all be super crowded. Sometimes you just need one voice to tell a story.

Even though it’s a museum, visiting it will be extra special because the little-known, no-website Edith Piaf museum is hidden away in two rooms. Marked by the sign “Les Amis de Piaf,” the museum is located in fourth floor apartment. Under the spell of her sweet song, see the personal belongings, gifts, photos, and letters of the icon of French romance that is Edith Piaf, and fall in love all over again. Even her famous black dress is on display! Entrance is free, open Monday through Wednesday 1pm-6pm. Call to check that they're open and make your appointment.
