Cluny Museum

Going through this garden and the museum within, one will discover lots of French Medieval treasures.
Picture yourself, with the traffic and noise of the Boulevard St Michel behind you, entering a Medieval-inspired garden. Going through La Foret de la Licorne you will reach the terrace behind The Cluny Hotel, than the museum's courtyard, in doing so you will go from a wild environment to a more controlled one, constituted of geometrical shapes, and full of symbols. A very refined architecture evoking love within enclosed spaces, lawn banks filled with thyme and carnations, a celestial garden where flowers bloom symbolising the Virgin Marys. It's also Le Carre des simples Medecines with its essential medieval medical plants.
To appreciate fully all the suggested charms of the place, you will lengthen your visit towards Le Musee du Moyen Age (The Middle age Museum) where countless art pieces tell and show you how important was the role of plants in men's spirit of this area.
