Maison natale de François Mitterrand
Maison natale de François Mitterrand, Presidential birth house in Jarnac, France.
The two-story traditional Charentais residence features period furniture, family memorabilia, and a preserved workshop space at 22 Abel Guy Street.
The building stands on the foundation of a former Protestant temple that was demolished in 1685 following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
The residence contains personal objects across multiple generations, including items from François Mitterrand's childhood and his fourteen-year French presidency.
Visitors can explore the house from Tuesday to Sunday between April and October, with guided tours available in French and English.
The property includes the original cooperage workshop where the Mitterrand family produced vinegar and wooden barrels for the local cognac industry.
