A guided tour of the house is enhanced by poetic readings that embellish the poet's evocation
Paul Verlaine was born here in 1844 and lived here until 1851, but the poet remained intimately attached to Metz, as evidenced by some of his writings, including Ode à Metz, a poem published in 1892. The exhibition space consists of four exhibition rooms and a shop and bookshop. The guided tour is enhanced by poetic readings that embellish the evocation of the poet. In 2020, this place received the "Maison des Illustres" label. A must-see in Metz!

Une très belle découverte. Ce musée n'existe que grâce à l'enthousiasme de bénévoles, leur intérêt pour la poésie et leur disponibilité. Cet appartement où a vécu Verlaine fourmille d'informations sur son époque, la vie littéraire et politique du moment et bien sûr sur Verlaine. Une bande son qui ravive les poèmes de Verlaine et des oeuvres d'art contemporaines, comment la ville de Metz fait-elle pour ignorer ce petit joyau qu'elle devarit encourager et soutenir ?
