"The Middle Ages come alive The Cluny Museum, located in the 5th arrondissement, is one of my favorite museums in Paris . It was formerly the town house (hôtel) of the abbots of Cluny, started in 1334. The structure was rebuilt by Jacques d'Amboise, abbot of Cluny from 1485-1510. The building combines Gothic and Renaissance elements. In 1843 it was made into a public museum to contain relics of France 's Gothic past. The museum houses the famous La Dame à la Licorne (The Lady and the Unicorn) tapestries as well as beautiful stained glass windows, illuminated manuscripts and other artifacts from the Middle Ages. Be sure to check out the Gallo-Roman baths dating from the third century which were recently excavated as well as the fabulous vaulted gothic chapel. Take some time to explore this interesting small museum."
