The house where Ernest Renan was born offers a glimpse into the life of the writer, with its rooms and period objects
The intellectual Ernest Renan was born in 1823 in this beautiful 17th-century timber-framed shipowner's house, where he lived until the age of 15. Listed as a historic monument, it has also been awarded the "Maison des illustres" label. As you explore the rooms, you'll discover the stages in the life of the writer, a great thinker on secularism and a specialist in religions: his bedroom as a schoolboy, the reconstruction of his study at the Collège de France... Renan also has his own statue in the Place du Martray, inaugurated in 1903 in the tense context of the law of separation between Church and State.
