The Museum of Romantic Life
After a museum and a gallery, what do you think of a little well-deserved refreshment? If your answer is positive, I recommend a romantic garden, dating from 1811.
Welcome to the home and studio of artist, Ary Scheffer, commonly known as the "Museum of Romantic Life".
Little known, this tea room and haven of peace invites you to sit at a small table, the color of "impressionism", in the shade of superb trees which only allow a few rays of light to filter through, reminding me of some of the paintings by Edouard Manet. Personally, it's a place where I like to come to read, write and forget where I am and especially in what year.
At the beginning of the 19th century, this building experienced no less than thirty years of intense artistic, political and literary activity. George Sand, Ernest Renan, but also Théodore Géricault, Frédéric Chopin, Toulouse Lautrec, Edgar Degas and Pissarro, will have marked the history of this house, school and museum. On arrival, after having climbed this small stone path, you can, if you wish, explore this unique place from the inside which became a museum in 1956. The Museum of Romantic Life offers you a unique permanent collection and if you're in luck, a temporary exhibition.
I wish you a pleasant time and I will see you at the next stage.
