Read moreUnderstanding the Maison des Jardies in Sèvres
• A wine-grower’s house.
The house was built in the late 17th century before being converted in
the 18th century into a country house for Parisians seeking to follow
Rousseau’s advice and return to nature. Balzac lived in a neighbouring
chalet from 1838 to 1840.
• A place of Republican pilgrimage. Léon
Gambetta (1838-1882) was the major figure of Republican resistance to
the Prussians during the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. In 1878, excluded
from power, he settled in the Maison des Jardies, and died there at the
in 1882 aged just 44. Public grief ran high. The house was immediately
bequeathed to the State and until the Second World War the French
Government and many foreign visitors went on a yearly pilgrimage to pay
homage to this ‘secular saint’. A major restoration campaign of the
house and garden was carried out from 1990 to 1996.
