In this impasse, at the end of this small briard village, the birthplace of the great inventor reveals the objects relating to his life and work. Born on January 4, 1809 in this small briarde house, Louis Braille invented the alphabet that bears his name, a writing and reading system for the blind. As a victim of tuberculosis, he died in 1852. His remains will be transferred to the Pantheon on 21 June 1952, on the occasion of the 100 th anniversary of his death, the year of the opening of the museum. Blind since the age of three, Louis Braille enters the Blind Institute seven years later. Later, he became a professor and developed a reading system from 1825, composing books to facilitate his teaching. Writing in relief that reads easily to touch, it is used worldwide. On the floor of the house, a library brings together many old books, some of which are in braille. Access disabled.

Petit musée a découvrir, la personne en charge nous a fait visiter et a réussi l'exploit d'intéresser des préados.
A la fin, chaque enfant a écrit son prénom en braille. Joli moment,comptez 1h pour la visite.

Visite super-intéressante! Le guide est super accueillant et sa passion est contagieuse. Il dévoile plein de détails sur la vie quotidienne au 19eme siècle, en nous faisant découvrir le monde et le génie de Braille.
Il faut absolument laisser un message sur le répondeur pour réserver le créneau de visite.
