Birth house of Jean-François Millet, Birth house and museum in Gruchy, La Hague, France
The stone building retains its original 19th-century architectural elements, including thick granite walls and traditional Norman roof design.
Born in this house in 1815, Jean-François Millet grew up in a farming family before becoming a prominent painter of rural French life.
The residence earned the Maisons des Illustres designation, marking its status among important French heritage sites related to historical figures.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking the D901 road north from Cherbourg, following signs to Gruchy through the La Hague peninsula.
The surrounding landscape of granite cliffs and agricultural fields mirrors the settings depicted in many of Millet's famous paintings.
