Visit to Georges Clémenceau's house and gardens

Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) first made a name for himself as a journalist, publishing Zola's famous ‘J'accuse’ in his daily L'Aurore. Leader of the Radical Party, Senator and then President of the Council from 1906 to 1909, he was recalled to power in 1917. The ‘Father of Victory’ rented this house in his native region from 1919 onwards, before retiring from political life.

It was here, facing the ocean, that this academician reflected on the events of his remarkable destiny and wrote several books. After his death in 1929, the furnishings of the house were slightly modified by Georges Clemenceau's three children, and adapted to make it a place of remembrance by adding memorabilia, objects and photographs to the rooms. 

As soon as he moved in, in August 1920, George Clémenceau began to create a garden on the dune, consisting of a flower terrace in front of the house with a view of the ocean, a bed of golden charcoal and another of roses at the back of the house. 

Owned by the State since 1931, the site has been listed as a historic monument since 1970.
