I wanted to like this museum more than I did. My admission was part of the Paris Museum Pass (which is a great deal!) So I didn't pay their admission directly. I might have regretted if I had. All of that said, what they have is good. I really enjoy medieval tapestries, and their religious collection was interesting. The engraved church stones and statues were well presented. Bring inside of an old building made for some interesting architecture. It just felt small. I like to take my time in museums, reading everything and studying what I can. I was done in under an hour. I've since found some pictures online that make it look like there should have been outside interior space available, presumably the courtyard of the original abbey, along with some Roman baths, but if so, I never came across signs or doorways that indicated that. If I missed them, they need to be marked better. There is some garden space on the outside of the building where you can walk around or sit on a bench, without needing museum admission. Be sure to check that out too. On one hand I hope I just missed things and there's more to see, but if so, that means I missed out!
