I recently stumbled upon an online thread for parents taking their kids to Paris looking for places to visit that aren’t the usual tourist attractions. The Museum of Magic was mentioned as a fun, and very French thing to do. A small museum located in the Marais the Magic Museum offers a fun, informal experience. C'est magique!
Musée de la Magie
11, rue saint Paul 75004 - PARIS
Téléphone : 33 (1) 42 72 13 26
http://www.museedelamagie.com/
Open: Wed, Sat and Sunday from 2pm-7pm year-round
I would still call ahead to see if they are open!
Rates: 9€ for adults, 7€ for kids
You can make reservations online if you want, or just show up. For adults, they actually have magic classes (in French of course!).
The thread went on to list magic shops in Paris. So if you’re looking for a magical evening, keep these in mind!
