Musée Carnavalet
@renataschmidt
Smack dab in the Marais, this is a great museum to pop in and out of, or to spend a day perusing. It covers the history of Paris, has a super cool cafe in the center, and is well organized. Prepare to be educated.

The Liberation of Paris Museum - General Leclerc Museum - Jean Moulin Museum

This is a small museum just outside of the Denfert-Rochereau metro stop. It takes about an hour to explore and uses multiple types of media to explain the occupation of Paris during World War II, and the key French figures who liberated the city.
