Cite de la Musique in Paris

The Cite de la musique is one of the most beautiful and interesting contemporary buildings in Paris.

Designed by Christian de Portzamparc (1994 Prizker prize winner), the Cite de la Musique features a concert hall, the first class French instrument museum and the National Conservatory of Music.

The Cite de la Musique lies on the Southern edge of the La Villette park in Paris Eastern districts.

Equipped with infrared headphones, the visitor walks across the rooms of the instrument museum and listens to classical music played on the beautiful old instruments in front of him. A rare musical experience.

We recommend the museum for children as it's both educating and entertaining. Children will also love the Cite des Sciences near by. Altogether, it's well worth spending a whole day with children in La Villette.
