Museum organizing temporary exhibitions and events on themes related to the writer Honoré de Balzac.

From 1840 to 1847, Honoré de Balzac lived in this house high above the village of Passy under the name of Monsieur de Breugnol, a pseudonym designed to fool his creditors. It was here that he put the finishing touches to his masterly Comédie humaine. On display are personal effects, paintings and engravings, as well as originals of some of his most famous manuscripts. The museum also organizes temporary exhibitions and events on themes related to the writer.

Accès gratuit au jardin et à la maison. Jardin très agréable où il est possible de lire un livre tout en dégustant un café et des pâtisseries (+ vue sur la tour Eiffel).
La maison possède une collection relativement réduite, je trouve, mais on y apprend pas mal de petites informations sur la manière de travailler de Balzac sur ses manuscrits.

Très bon accueil. Ce lieu est un petit havre de paix. Le café est bon.

Piccola casa-museo dove Balzac ha trascorso una parte della propria vita parigina. Per gli appassionati, è sicuramente da vedere: vi si trovano il suo scrittoio e sedia originali e alcuni manoscritti. Fa parte del complesso anche un piccolo giardino, un angolo di quiete, dove sedere un attimo, magari prendendo qualcosa dalla caffetteria, con la tour Eiffel sullo sfondo. L'ingresso è gratuito.

Bel endroit. Mais, peu de preuves de vie...

Wonderful museum with a charming cafe! Walk around the house, get a glimpse into the life of one of the literary greats and do not forget to stop for amazing coffee made by the gifted and friendly barista (who speaks excellent English).
