Domaine départemental de la Vallée-aux-Loups

The Maison de Chateaubriand, where the writer lived from 1807 to 1817, is steeped in history. During this period, he worked to embellish the house and grounds, while writing. This historic monument offers an immersion in the romantic atmosphere of a "chartreuse" explored by Chateaubriand. The English garden, with its exotic species such as Lebanese cedar, Louisiana cypress and horse chestnut, reflects the eclecticism of this discovery-hungry traveler.
