DEPARTMENTAL MUSEUM STÉPHANE-MALLARMÉ
The first floor of the museum houses the library and temporary exhibitions
From 1874, Stéphane Mallarmé rented during the holidays the first floor of a small house, a former cottage inn located in the hamlet of Valvins, where he was engaged among others in the pleasures of canoeing. Today, the house has become the Stéphane-Mallarmé museum built on two levels. The ground floor houses the library and hosts temporary exhibitions. On the first floor, we discovered the poet's apartment, the dining room, the bedroom, its rocking-flesh and its shale, the table of the Mardists around which he received his friends on Tuesday in his Parisian apartment on Rue de Rome. There were Villiers de L 'Isle-Adam, Émile Verhaeren, Maurice Maeterlinck, Henri de Régnier, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Nadar, Alfred Jarry, Pierre Louÿs, Ravel, Paul Claudel, Verlaine, Gauguin, Manet, Paul Adam… We also visited the Japanese cabinet in which he retired to read. The poet dies in Valvins on September 9, 1898 and is buried at the nearby cemetery of Samoreau.
