Discover the Wonders of Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

Getting There

• Public Transportation

  If you are starting from central Paris, take Metro Line 9 from any of the major stations such as Châtelet or Opéra towards Pont de Sèvres. Alight at the 'Alma-Marceau' station. From there, it is about a 10-minute walk to the museum. Exit the station and head towards the Seine River, then turn left onto Quai Jacques Chirac. The museum will be on your right. Make sure to check the RATP website for specific metro times and potential disruptions.

• Bus

  You can also take the bus to reach the museum. Take bus line 42 from the 'Gare Saint-Lazare' station towards 'Hôpital Europeen Georges Pompidou'. Alight at the 'Pont de l'Alma' stop, which is a short walk (about 5 minutes) from the museum. Just walk along the Quai Jacques Chirac, and you will reach your destination. The bus may cost around €1.90 for a single ticket.

• Car

  If you prefer to drive, enter the address '37 Quai Jacques Chirac, 75007 Paris' into your GPS. Parking can be tricky in Paris, so look for nearby parking garages such as the 'Indigo Alma - Marceau' which is approximately 5 minutes' walk from the museum. Expect to pay around €2.80 per hour for parking. Be aware of traffic and potential road closures, especially during peak hours.

• Bike

  For the more adventurous, consider renting a bike using the Vélib' bike-sharing system. Find a nearby station, and bike along the Seine River towards the museum. This option allows for a scenic route with minimal traffic. There are bike racks available near the museum for parking your bike when you arrive. The first 30 minutes of bike rental are typically free, with additional charges incurred thereafter.
