LES BUISSONNETS, THÉRÈSE'S CHILDHOOD HOME
Go there and contact
Sainte-Thérèse's childhood home, with the family living room and her recovery room
It was in this elegant salmon-pink pavilion that little Thérèse Martin grew up, surrounded by her father and four sisters, until she entered the Carmelite convent at the age of 15. Time has erased nothing of the memory, and every room still breathes the presence of the Saint: the kitchen fireplace evokes the great grace of Christmas 1886, the room where she was healed by the Virgin's smile on Sunday May 13, 1883... Donations from visitors help maintain the house and garden.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Our bus could only stay about 200 meters away because this wasn’t on the main road. The way to the house is not easily accessible to those in wheelchairs.
As the house is small, only 10-15 could go in at a time and so our group of 37 had to go in tranches. The wait wasn’t arduous because there is a front and back garden that also gave glimpses of the life of St Therese as a child.
The interiors are well kept and glimpses of the middle class family of St Therese is quite evident. That there are women in the family is seen in the beautifully kept embroidered beddings, and the visitors cannot miss the religiosity of this family in the many religious articles around the house.
The tour rounds off with a gift shop in the house before exit.
Maison familiale de Sainte Thérèse, superbement bien entretenue. Accueil très agréable. MERCI à toute l'équipe.
