The Château de Monte-Cristo features three floors with floral motifs, angels, and musical instruments decorating its exterior facades.
Alexandre Dumas commissioned architect Hippolyte Durand to construct this residence between 1844 and 1847, spending 500,000 francs on the project.
The titles of 88 literary works by Alexandre Dumas are permanently engraved on the walls of his writing studio within the estate.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with Saturday hours extending from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
A Neo-Gothic pavilion named Château d'If stands in the garden, serving as Dumas's personal writing office during his residence at the estate.
