Tey are still free, some tiny nuances :
For the Musée Bible et Terre Sainte the site says it's better call ahead to know it if it is open the day you are interested in
Musée du Compagnonnage is still free but a large part of the collections moved to Tours
Musée Curie is free but donations are highly welcomed
Musée Jean Moulin : not sure if it is open or under renovation (i can’t find anything recent)

Chateau de Vincennes was free in September,i can't find an actual price for a self guided visit but a guided one is available for 5 Euros (i suspect the entrance to be free)

PARIS

the Scribe museum

Our perfume museum, which opened in 1983, occupies a very lovely Napoleon III town house built in 1860 by Lesoufaché, a student of Garnier. The decoration is entirely of that period. Here you can discover a wonderful collection of perfumery objects that take you traveling through the ages.

We will be delighted to welcome you for a free guided tour of this prestigious museum just a few steps from the Opéra Garnier.

Open from monday to saturday from 9 am to 6 pm
Open on sunday (from march 15th to October 15th and from december 15th to january 15th) from 9.30am to 4 pm
and holydays from 9.30am to 4 pm
Opéra metro station
