  • The famous family house of Aunty Léonie, with period furnishings intact, where the young Marcel Proust would spend his holidays. Full of the provincial charm which he would later draw on in his works.

  • Between reality and fiction, memory and imagination, the "House of Tante Léonie" is one of the last actual vestiges of the environment Proust described in his novel "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu". This excellent living reconstitution of that world is a moving opportunity for those who have read his works to compare their imagination and the reality. Thanks to many donations and bequests from his family, there is a rich collection of items, letters and documents that belonged to the author....
