Since 1937, the birthplace of Charles-Louis Philippe has housed a museum dedicated to the life and work of the writer (1874-1909), author notably of Bubu de Montparnasse, Le Père Perdrix, La Mère et l'Enfant, In the Little Town… It's a small house with a narrow facade, two stories high and embedded between two other buildings.
This museum, restored in 1994 and labeled "Maisons des Illustres" in 2012 by the Ministry of Culture, respects the atmosphere of the house where Charles-Louis Philippe lived until the age of 22. "This house is entirely on his scale; it was because it was very small that he came out of it very small", André Gide.
