Museum in Edmond Rostand's home in Cambo-les-Bains, to learn more about the history of this writer and poet.

Cambo-les-Bains had the advantage of being discovered, not by financiers and developers, but by the writer-poet Edmond Rostand. Immerse yourself in his world at the heart of this privileged corner of the Basque country, where he always felt at home: he settled here, wrote and built without disfiguring it, quite the contrary. Arnaga's park reflects the balancing of the heart and soul of its creator, torn between his penchant for solitude and contemplation, as embodied in the English garden, and his inclination for perfectionism and honors, as exemplified by the French garden. The famous author of Cyrano de Bergerac gave Cambo an image as poetic as his verses. His superb Villa Arnaga, designed by the famous Parisian architect Joseph Albert Tournaire, was built in 1903. Thanks to his enlightened personality, Edmond Rostand gave a special elegance to this imposing neo-Basque residence. Set in 12 hectares of gardens, the result is a refined masterpiece: the walls and furnishings were commissioned from renowned artists. Transformed into a museum in 1960, the Villa opens its doors to the intimate, where documents and paintings evoking the life of the writer and his family are on display. Discover the astonishing world in which Edmond Rostand found inspiration, for it was in Cambo that he wrote Chantecler in 1910. Villa Arnaga is dedicating 2024 to the life and work of Rosemonde Gérard, with a temporary exhibition on the woman poet of the Belle Epoque.

La villa Arnaga, somptueux décor de théâtre
Personne ne devrait passer à Cambo les Bains sans s'arrêter pour visiter la fameuse villa Arnaga qu'Edmond Rostand, l'auteur de Cyrano de Bergerac s' y est fait construire!La villa de style néo-basque comporte 19 pièces pourvues d'installation d'une grande modernité pour l'époque!( électricité, eau chaude, hydrothérapie). Les jardins , qui s'étalent sur 15 hectares, sont magnifiques! à ne pas manquer!
