Musée Colette, Literature museum in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, France.
The Musée Colette occupies a 17th-century castle and displays the French writer's life through manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings. The exhibition rooms spread across the building to present different phases of her work.
The castle dates to the 17th century and contains a tower from the 11th century known as Tour Sarrasine. The museum was founded in 1995 to preserve the memory of the writer.
The rooms show how Colette drew inspiration from her rural roots and her time in the capital in her writing. You can see how deeply this place shaped her view of life and work.
The site is open from spring through fall, allowing you to explore at your own pace or with a guided tour. A tea room in the former castle kitchen offers a place to rest between rooms.
Visitors can hear the writer's own voice guiding them through the exhibition as they walk. This personal connection adds a dimension beyond reading text on the walls.
