Maison de Pierre Loti

Behind the banal facade of No. 141 rue Pierre Loti lies the extravagant house of a famous French writer. A visit to Pierre Loti's house is an exotic journey through this great adventurer's life. Inside the mansion, the walls are covered with tapestries and it shares the morbid genius of Luis of Bavaria's Neuschwanstein Castle. The first thing you see is the red room, a gallery of family portraits, there is one of Loti in a beautiful Turkish warrior dress. After that is a blue room, which has stylish furnishings and is full of Louis XVI style figurines. With coffered ceiling, the XVII century Flemish tapestries contrast with the monumental fireplace, the stage and the Renaissance room impresses with its eclecticism.
