Read moreI was really looking forward to going to this museum and we made a detour to get there. Well, we shouldn’t have bothered. What a disappointment it was. Definitely not worth the €8 per person we paid. Yes there are some beautiful pieces but there is nothing explained in any other language than French.

Read moreLovely staff, but small museum expected more eleborated. They should look more to Riedel museum. For 8 euro it is not really worth it as you do not see much of production but purely pieces.

Also they have a small museum shop missing really unique museum pieces that is made of cristal to have a link. As they sell some of the odd pieces link pencils aprons. They have a small cafe but it feels like stuffed away in a corner if they open up linking with the shop more inviting will be lovely or make it haut cuisine type could also work. Overall dissapointing in the museum Baccarat is such a strong...
