The Musée des Charmettes, where Jean-Jacques Rousseau stayed in Chambéry.

Nestled in a verdant valley a stone's throw from Chambéry, the Maison des Charmettes is a place steeped in history and emotion. It was here that Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived for several years as a young man. A stay he recalls with passion in his Confessions. Period furniture, everyday objects and a simple atmosphere transport visitors into the philosopher's intimacy. Around them, the garden and orchard have been reconstituted with plants and essences from the XVIIIᵉ century.

Un lugar mágico, lleno de paz y significado histórico. Les Charmettes no es solo una antigua casa rural, sino un verdadero refugio del alma. Aquí Rousseau encontró la calma y la conexión con la naturaleza que inspiraron gran parte de su obra. Pasear por sus jardines y habitaciones es como entrar en las páginas de Las Confesiones. Todo está muy bien conservado, con explicaciones claras y un ambiente sereno que invita a la reflexión. Ideal para los amantes de la literatura, la filosofía y la historia. Una visita inolvidable.
