Paris - Musée Carnavalet 
|
|
Carnavalet is a garbled form of the name of the former owner of the house, the widow of the Sire de Kernevenoy, a Breton. The house was built in the 16th century, probably by Pierre Lescot, the architect responsible for the Renaissance facade of the Louvre. The main doorway, with carvings of lions by Jean Goujon, and the range of buildings facing the entrance date from the 16th century.
