House of the famous poet Jacques Prévert, located in the village of Omonville-la-Petite.

Enter the town of Omonville-la-Petite and park your car in the car park in front of the church. You have not yet arrived at the house of the famous poet Jacques Prévert but the visit starts here. Take a look at the cemetery and look at the flowered tombs, decorated with pebbles. It is there, in the peace and quiet, that Jacques Prévert, his wife and daughter rest. Take this street lined with fields. It will take you, after a ten-minute walk, to the writer’s corner of paradise. It was when he was filming with the actors of the Octobre company that he fell under the spell of Cap de la Hague. The man we know today as the author of the best lines of French cinema, but also a committed poet and master in the art of collage, found his crush in the 1970s. He acquires a discreet house with a garden in Le Val. The Words still resonate there... On the ground floor, contemplate the temporary exhibition in homage to the author and the great artists with whom he collaborated, then watch the film of his life. Upstairs, turn the chapters of Jacques Prévert’s life, from the studio to the bedrooms, and end your visit by going through the garden... Collages, works, drafts... Everything brings you back into the Prévert universe, and has done so for more than 20 years, via this beautiful house. On 11 April 1977, the poet died here: he lived 40 years in this superb house in The Hague, and his grave is located nearby. A magnificent visit, whether you are familiar with the name Prévert or not.

Petit passage hors du temps et de la foule.
Maison a l architecture originale. Jardin qui transporte dans une quiétude. On se sent artiste 5 minutes. Entree un peu cher pour un peu de culture.

Lohnt nicht so richtig. Der Garten und das Haus sind wunderschön, aber die Ausstellung ist nicht besonders.

Superbe extérieur. L'intérieur est plutôt un musée exposition.

Un lieu à découvrir absolument afin de savoir qui était vraiment Mr Prévert.c est un lieu paisible où l on sent bien la sérénité dans laquelle il oeuvrait,c est aussi une visite ludique et enrichissante pour les plus jeunes
J ai même découvert que j avais bcp de points communs avec ce poète,acerbe et avant gardiste de son temps????...
L.inspiration vs envahie...j ai repris les pinceaux et me.lance moi aussi au découpage et collage ????
Vs pourrez aussi avoir le privilège de faire une pause "pipi" dans sa propre salle de bain????...
Plus sérieusement,
Complétez la visite avec les jardins dans une commune à proximité ❤️
