Maison des Jardies, Memorial house in Sèvres, France
Maison des Jardies is a residential house in Sèvres with traditional architecture, sitting on a hillside above the town. The interior spaces contain furniture and objects that visitors can walk through, while a garden surrounds the building.
A renowned French writer acquired the property in 1837 and built a wooden pavilion in the garden, but left within a few years. After the writer, a figure from public life lived there and left their own imprint on the place.
The house sheltered two significant figures whose personal belongings fill the rooms today. Furniture, letters, and objects from different periods tell the story of the people who lived here.
Visiting works best with a guided tour through the interior to understand the story and arrangement of objects. The grounds are hilly, so wear good shoes and allow enough time for the walk.
In the garden stands a monument created by a celebrated sculptor in 1891, tied to a particular story. The monument once served as a resting place for a personal memento of an important historical figure.
