Museum of archaeology in Thionville, "Museum of France", presenting beautiful collections from prehistoric times to the Renaissance
The Tour aux Puces (Flea Tower), a former keep of the castle of the Counts and then Dukes of Luxembourg, built at the end of the 11th century, houses an archaeological museum with the "Musée de France" label. Its name comes from the legend that attributes the atrocious and tragic death of a princess, who was devoured by ferocious little fleas. It has been the municipal museum of Thionville since 1905 and presents the archaeological collections discovered in the Thionville area, from the prehistoric period to the Renaissance.

Members' reviews on FLEA TOWER MUSEUM
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
First of all, we were received in an extremely unpleasant, limiting way insulting. Indeed, the museum has been for two months free for 26 years. We arrived and therefore asking for two places - 26 years and there, mockeries on an ironic and very dry tone " ah good? it is free? Would that have changed and while nothing me have been said? " We have to show it printed paper on the entrance to enjoy this price...
Then, very steep staircases, we have both missed falling on several occasions. To advise people old or with mobility problems.
Finally, a rather undone exhibition, few explanations, nothing thorough...
We visited museums in Lorraine enormously and planes never disappointed but there, this museum not at all costs! Even free that is not worth the trip!
Un beau musée, intéressant par l'histoire bien expliquée, avec de beaux vestiges et les découvertes étonnantes de notre région. L'exposition play mobiles ravira les enfants !
