Mons' best kept secret

You will discover the way of living in Paris from the time of Louis XVI to Napoleon Ier and Charles X. An astonishing and dazzling beautiful visit !!! Michelin 2 stars for the whole Museum and above it: 2 specific stars for the "extraordinary collection of clocks" and, since 2015, 2 more stars for the "marvelous collections of porcelains" !!! 3 times worth seeing : a MUST !

    Napoleon et son temps
    This is an impressive life time collection of the "mad collector". The building which contains the objects is nice and atmospheric place. The collection contains the vast majority of valuable antiques of the 18th-19th century.The watch collection is a world-known asset. Some objects are effectively unique. In my opinion it is a must have museum of an amateur of antiques

    Museum like a fairy tale ?‍♀️
    Museum François Duesberg is just amazing. ?The collection of the clocks is so beautiful, so unique - stunning. The owner of the museum, François, has put all his heart in it, he is an enthusiast and such a lovely person. Felt like a princess in the dream castle and Alice in Wonderland at the same time. Definitely a museum to visit! ?
