This was fun to walk through, but didn't take very long. There's not much there. We did it because we did Sainte Chapelle and it was next door (and included in the combo we booked). Its probably not worth its own trip.
So we decided to go in. We liked it, together with a special ipad that shows every room as it looked hundreds of years ago. Historically interesting.
This place is full of an atmosphere of old France, espesially if you take a tablet with installation of the past.
