Pierre Loti's house

Pierre Loti's house is certainly one of the most exotic and original homes of the 19th century. A naval officer and writer, Loti brought back objects, hangings, decorations and souvenirs from his many travels around the world, which he gradually used to transform the house where he was born. The Renaissance room, the Gothic room, the mosque, the Turkish salon and the Arab room transport us to the magical and exotic worlds of the Middle Ages and the Orient, revisited through the imagination of the writer-traveller.

The house has been closed for several years for restoration work, but you can discover this surprising house in 3D at the Musée Hèbre.

It is due to reopen in June 2025.
