CLAUDE-AUGÉ HOUSE

This house, listed as a historic monument, is a source of pride for the people of Lislois in the destiny of Claude Augé, the local boy who became director of the famous Larousse publishing house. The stained-glass windows, mosaics and wallpapers of this private mansion reflect the eclecticism in vogue at the beginning of the ^20th century. The Association des Amis de Claude Augé organizes guided tours of this Parisian-style residence. The grand staircase is illuminated by a superb Art Nouveau glass roof. The house also features two semeuses, the famous Larousse icon; can you find them?
