Musée de la vie Romantique

Overview

Hidden in a cobblestone courtyard, you'll find Musée de la vie Romantique where the Romantic art movement is celebrated.

Housed within the former home of Dutch-born painter Ary Scheffer, this vine-covered villa once hosted gatherings of artists and writers like Frédéric Chopin, George Sand and Charles Dickens.

Now, it's a peaceful spot to admire a free collection of Romantic paintings, sculptures and ornamental pieces.

This laidback ambience extends into the gardens, where a charming tea house occupies a greenhouse and shaded courtyard, perfect for sipping coffee and munching on pastries while basking in the sun.
