Maison Jacques-Prévert, Literary museum in La Hague, France.

Maison Jacques-Prévert is the former home of the French poet in Normandy, now operating as a museum displaying his life and work. The rooms hold his manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings that reveal how he lived in this place.

Prévert discovered the Hague cape in the 1930s with friends from the October Group theatre movement. In 1970 he bought a house at Le Val in Omonville-la-Petite, where he lived until his death on 11 April 1977. His old friend Alexandre Trauner, a film set designer he had met on Marcel Carné's shoots, fitted out this retreat. The house has been open to the public as a museum since 1995.

The house shows how Prévert chose to live away from Paris and shaped his life in this Norman setting. Visitors see personal objects and photographs that reveal how he used the space and who came to visit him.

The museum occupies the house Prévert bought in 1970 at Le Val, in Omonville-la-Petite, near the cape of La Hague. It has been open to the public since 1995 and is run by the Manche departmental council. Prévert's grave, with those of his wife Janine, his daughter Michèle and Alexandre Trauner, is in the village cemetery of Omonville-la-Petite, a short walk from the house.

Prévert is buried in the Omonville-la-Petite cemetery, not in the church, beside his wife Janine, his daughter Michèle and his friend and neighbour Alexandre Trauner, the film set designer who fitted out the house at Le Val.
