Maison De Balzac

Unclaimed

We found this after seeing a post that it was a good place to see the Eiffel Tower. It is perfect to escape the crowds and enjoy history on author Balzac. The cafe and garden are small but lovely. We had a short coffee break and enjoyed the views. The museum of the house is free but exhibits are cost. It's definitely off the beaten path. It's delicious on all accounts. Stop at some of the nearby parks, too, if walking back.

I did not know about this until a friend told me. This is the former residence of French novelist Honoré de Balzac. It was in the outskirts of Paris at the time. It was the guest house of a larger estate. It contains a lot of artifacts, drawings, sculptures and writing related to Balzac. The cottage is small but worth visiting. The main attraction for me is the outdoor garden. A lot of flowers and plants and a lot of places just to sit and take in the quiet. A small cafe on site is very nice too. Definitely worth a visit.

Small house where Balzac has lived with artifacts that were used or created by him. The personnel help visitors and is very kind. Outside a beautiful garden and a cafeteria. Worth the visit.

Descriptions of the works of Balzac, their cultural significance and character portraits. The olfactory display of perfumes designed based on how Balzac described the fragrance of his characters is not to be missed!

Cute little museum and a beautiful garden with the view of Eiffel Tower, where you can relax in the sun and have a coffee!
