Musée Pierre Corneille - Maison des Champs

First museum dedicated to the writer Pierre Corneille surrounded by a 2,200 m² vegetable garden. Holding unique collections (17th century editions), this place invites visitors to find out more about the unknown life of Pierre while immersing them in an atmosphere that is very close to the one the author experienced, with its period furniture.

Classical playwright Pierre Corneille(1606-1684) inherited this timber-framed house from his father at the end of the 16th century. It contains period furniture, sculptures, paintings, etchings, medals, rare books and original editions, signed letters and documents which recall the great poet and his familiy. The 17th century orchard, the bread oven, the well, the pig trough and the vegetable garden give the domain a country-like atmosphere.
