The home of Jean Monnet, one of the "fathers of Europe", is a little-known museum in the countryside of the Vallée de Chevreuse.

A visit to Jean Monnet's house will give you a better understanding of the personal history of this emblematic figure, considered one of the "fathers of Europe", and of his fundamental role in the construction of Europe. This museum in the heart of nature is also a direct access to beautiful walks in the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park, so you can continue your day with a welcome moment of relaxation. Temporary exhibitions are organized here.

La visite est instructive pour comprendre la construction de l'Europe. Le personnel est accueillant et prévenant. Prévoir une heure. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de places de parking mais il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde.

This is not just the house of one of the fathers of the EU.

The life of Jean Monnet covers some of the most interesting moments of the European History during the XXth century including the first and 2nd WWs and the stunning negotiations to join France and England as one whole country during the Nazis invasion.

He was a visionary with direct access to the most important leaders of Europe since the WWI till his death and he modelled the Europe that we have now... Even his personal life is stunning.

The museum is beautiful and the surroundings are poetic. You can reserve a guided visit.

As an extra, you can reserve also a guided visit for the Louis Carré just in front of it. This house was designed by the Finnish architect Arval Aalto, and you will have the sensation of having passed the day in the first part of the XXth century.

Visite de la maison musée de Jean Monnet dans la commune paisible de Bazoches sur Guyonne dans les Yvelines. Nous y découvrons l'histoire de la vie de Jean Monnet et de la création de l'Europe. La maison musée est bien agencée, elle nous permet de nous plonger dans l'atmosphère de cette maison. Nous pouvons imaginer les rencontres, discussions et échanges téléphoniques sur l'Europe entre les personnalités politiques( le président américain Dwight Eisenhower, le ministre Robert Schuman...) et Jean Monnet.
Un audio guide nous donne des précisons pour le rez de chaussée du musée (entrée, salon, salle à manger, chambre.
A l'étage , nous pouvons y trouver des média interactifs sur la construction de l'Europe notamment.
Le parc de la maison est verdoyant,calme et tranquille.
La visite est gratuite.
