Louis Guilloux House
Maison Louis Guilloux is a private residence built around 1930 located at the end of the Saint-Michel neighborhood in Saint-Brieuc. The building now houses a museum with the writer's furniture, books, and personal objects, while a small office under the roof remains with views overlooking the city and Saint-Brieuc Bay.
The house was built around 1930 and served as the residence of writer Louis Guilloux for many years. During World War II, it functioned as a meeting place for Resistance members, giving the house special historical significance.
The house carries the name of writer Louis Guilloux and serves as a place of literary memory in Saint-Brieuc. Visitors experience how a 20th-century author lived and understand the role his work played in shaping the town's identity.
The house can only be visited by prior arrangement and welcomes groups of up to 15 people for tours lasting between half an hour and one and a half hours. The building sits near the city center of Saint-Brieuc, which is reachable by train in about 2 hours or by car in about 4 hours from Paris.
Guilloux wrote many of his major works in the small attic office, where his desk remains exactly as he used it. From this quiet workspace, the author could see both the city and the bay, reflecting his deep connection to Saint-Brieuc.
