Maison paternelle de Pasteur

The house maintains Louis Pasteur's laboratory on the first floor, next to his bedroom, with original equipment and scientific instruments from the 19th century.

In 1830, the Pasteur family moved to this house by the Cuisance river, where Louis's father established a tannery and where Louis spent his formative years.

The museum organizes family workshops during school holidays, allowing visitors to explore scientific concepts through hands-on experiments and educational activities.

The museum provides digital tablets at reception for self-guided tours, with content available in multiple languages explaining the scientific discoveries made in this location.

This property contains the only personal laboratory where Pasteur developed the pasteurization process and conducted research on wine fermentation.
