Musée Raymond Devos, musée
The Musée Raymond Devos is a house-museum set in a 19th-century villa that the artist called home from 1963 onwards. Rooms contain his desk, musical instruments, awards, personal objects, and recreated living spaces, alongside video displays and recordings that document his career and creative process.
The villa was built around 1870 and became the artist's home in 1963, where he lived and worked for over four decades. The museum opened in 2016 and received the 'Maisons des Illustres' designation, marking it as important to French cultural heritage and memory.
The house honors a French comedian whose wordplay and sketches made audiences laugh throughout his career. The rooms display personal objects and recordings that show how he shaped comedy through simple, clever observations about everyday life.
The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday with earlier closing during colder months. A visit takes a few hours and suits all ages, with guided tours, workshops, and wheelchair accessibility available. Nearby parking and local shops make the location convenient to reach on foot or by car.
An upper-floor attic room contains his personal collection of creations and objects that he called his own 'little museum.' This private space reveals his creative thinking and the sources that inspired his humor and artistic vision.
