Musée de la Légion d'honneur

Faubourg Saint-Germain

Tucked inside the elegant Hôtel de Salm, this compact museum traces France's highest honors from Napoleon's Legion to modern medals. With 5,000 artifacts spanning Crusader orders to contemporary decorations, it's a fascinating detour when the Musée d'Orsay crowds get overwhelming: admission is always free.
