Pavilion where Gustave Flaubert wrote his major novels, Madame Bovary, L’Éducation sentimentale, Trois contes and Bouvard et Pécuchet.
In 1822, the Flaubert family bought a country house in Croisset, on the banks of the Seine. It was not until 1846 that Gustave Flaubert settled there on a yearly basis, between two stays in Paris, with his mother and his niece. He wrote his main novels there, Madame Bovary, L’Éducation sentimentale, Trois Contes and Bouvard et Pécuchet. At his death, the house was sold, destroyed, then replaced by an oil factory, a distillery and a paper factory, now closed. Only the pavilion in which Flaubert liked to work has remained intact.
