Experience Bois-guillaume with Best Western Hotel Le Conquerant

A special place, assembling a collection of objects associated with the famous French composer in the house where he was born: Claude Debussy's birthplace is located in the historic quarter of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It was in this 17-century house in the town that Claude Debussy was born, on 22 August 1862, and spent his early childhood. His father ran a china shop on the ground floor. After the composer's death in 1918, it soon became the main gathering place of his many admirers. Once inside, you will discover a wonderful little inner courtyard, where a splendid wooden staircase will lead you up to the museum. The museum, officially recognised as a 'Maison des illustres' ('Houses of the Famous'), displays objects and photographs that help provide a better understanding of the composer's creative process. In fact, Debussy liked to surround himself with objects from different places and artistic movements, which influenced his music. For example, a Japanese lacquered panel, which came from his Parisian mansion, depicting two fish swimming under a willow, musically metamorphosed into 'Poissons d'or', a piano piece (1907). A small museum but a grand tribute to one of France's greatest composers!

The Fournaise museum proposes a meeting with the artist during a show, punctuated by digital animations and videos, in the middle of the atmosphere recreated by the sets of theaters. of the museum. One hundred years after his death, Renoir is back in Chatou hologram! Familiarly, he tells us about his vision of painting, the harsh criticisms of his contemporaries, his workshop secrets, his loves, his relatives ... and the fertile inspiration drawn from the banks of the Seine. At the time of the first scandals, Durand-Ruel and some amateurs give him a decisive support by buying him paintings. Alphonse Fournaise is one of the first! He ordered his portrait and that of his daughter for 200 francs. For more than ten years, Renoir made frequent stays at home and around Chatou where he painted about thirty paintings. Aged nearly forty, he began the ambitious Breakfast of the Boaters. This painting, painted on the balcony of the Maison Fournaise, is the result of long research. The painter feels then that he has arrived "at the end of impressionism". This great admirer of the masters of the Italian Renaissance dreams of making this work a bridge between Veronese, Raphael and the modern life of his century. Retained at the Fournaise by his painting in 1880, he wrote to Monsieur de Bellio: "You will not regret your trip. It is the most beautiful place around Paris. " To complete your experience in the footsteps of Renoir, go back in time on the Fournaise hamlet thanks to the virtual reality helmets, wander among the characters of the Breakfast of the boaters with the tactile tablets or create your own work according to the master in painting Virtual.

The Grand Trianon was designed in 1687 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart to allow King Louis XIV to escape the excessive luxury of the Court and to safeguard his love affairs there. The site indeed exudes a sense of intimacy and refinement. The palace is inspired by Italian architecture and invites you to poetry and leisurely strolls. It was built on the site of Louis XIV’s former Porcelain Trianon. A little fun fact: in the past, the Grand Trianon was surrounded by thousands of potted flowers, which were changed every day. Today, this tradition is still maintained with each season. The spectacle was truly unique: flowerbeds bursting with blooms of every color and a wide variety of fragrances filled the air. Later on, the Grand Trianon was frequented by Napoleon Bonaparte and by Presidents of the Republic. From 1962 to 1966, General de Gaulle entrusted André Malraux, then Minister of Cultural Affairs, with the restoration of the Grand Trianon.

The Petit Trianon was built between 1763 and 1768 by the architect Gabriel, requested by Madame de Pompadour, mistress then friend of king Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom” — though no longer his mistress, she remained his friend — was the instigator of this small château, built by architect Gabriel between 1763 and 1768. It was erected near the Botanical Garden and the new menagerie, as Louis XV had a keen interest in the sciences. To please the marquise, always at the forefront of fashion, the king’s architect broke away from the rococo aesthetic and adopted a cubic form with very pure lines, in keeping with the brand-new “Greek style” then in vogue. Its simplicity is only apparent, for each façade is different, designed in relation to the space it overlooks: the courtyard, the French Garden with its elegant pavilion, the Botanical Garden, and the Florist’s Garden. Inside, one finds the same modernity of style. Simpler than the rest of the estate, the decoration of the Petit Trianon lies not in lavish materials — gilding is almost absent — but in the refinement of its sculptures, in a château entirely dedicated to nature. Madame de Pompadour died in 1764 and never saw the château completed. Today, it is above all the memory of Marie-Antoinette that it evokes. In 1774, Louis XVI gave the Trianon estate to his wife, who was able to live here a life apart — too much so for some — from the Court.

Founded in the early 12th century, Prieuré Saint-Jacques, located north of the Rouen-Normandie metropolitan area in the commune of Mont-Saint-Aignan, was originally a place of worship for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, as well as a home for lepers. From the Middle Ages to the Revolution, the church of the Saint-Jacques priory was the parish church. Sold as national property, it gradually fell into ruin. Visitors can admire the Romanesque nave, with its capitals adorned with animals and geometric motifs, some of which have retained their polychromy. It's a charming place, with a breathtaking view over the city of Rouen.

Nicknamed Rouen's "PŠre Lachaise". The Monumental Cemetery of Rouen is a picturesque place with wide green paths and the graves of illustrious people. Standing in the hills above the city, it is awarded the certification "Remarkable cemeteries of Europe". A rare award in France, since only Paris, Lyon and Rennes have been awarded before. This cemetery owes its name to the sumptuous monuments erected on the graves. This was a first in Rouen, when it was opened in 1828. Located north of the city with a panoramic view of Rouen, this is where Gustave Flaubert was buried. It is also possible to see the grave of the Dada artist Marcel Duchamp - always covered with objects and featuring a humorous epitaph: "Besides, it's always the others who die"-, of the sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon, of the politician Michel B‚r‚govoy or the one containing the heart of the composer Fran‡ois-Adrien Boieldieu. You can see several remarkable monuments, including tombstones decorated with the creations of the metal worker from Rouen Ferdinand Marrou. His own grave was added there in 1917. The cemetery is home to some 22,000 graves and covers 10 hectares enclosed by a wall. This remembrance site is also ideal for walks and is also an open-air history museum. Guided tours are organised to learn more about the different architectural styles of funerary monuments and immerse visitors in the customs and beliefs of the 19th century. Some guided tours are even held after dark by candlelight.

Located close to the train station in Rouen, Ferdinand Marrou's house was completed in 1890. In the mind of its creator, it probably represented a life-size advertisement, like a catalogue of his know-how combining carved wood and forged and embossed iron. The house was designed by the Rouen architect, Emile Janet, based on an overall design by Ferdinand Marrou. As for the decor, Marrou hired a team of craftsmen, who were often involved in major architectural projects in the region at the end of the 19th century. Marrou's house is currently used as the setting for the exhibition "Madame Rêve en Bovary" (Madame Bovary and dreams) as part of the 200th anniversary of Gustave Flaubert's birth in 2021. The innovative display by Jean Oddes takes visitors on an immersive journey and contemporary interpretation of the novel.

The museum was founded in 1831 by the Prefect, M. Dupont-Delporte, who wanted to create a “cabinet of antiques" to preserve the remains of monuments and archaeological and art objects, found especially during the excavations of the Gallo-Roman amphitheatre in Lillebonne. The collections of the museum displays exceptional pieces, from the Antiquity to the Renaissance, coming from the region (glasswork, ceramics, sculptures, etc.) as well as from far away civilisations (ancient Greece and Egypt). The museum allows visitors to immerse themselves in the heart of those ancient civilisations, to learn more about their daily life and aesthetic principles. Visitors thus discover statuettes, jewels, objects, and furniture that make up an incredible heritage belonging to the history of mankind.
