Maison natale de Colette, Literary birthplace in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, France.

The Maison natale de Colette is a two-storey house with a pale cream facade and a steep dark slate roof, its upper floor pierced by three shuttered windows and its lower floor by two. A round plaque between the lower windows reads "MAISON DE COLETTE" and "1873-1954". A lower wing to the right has a tall arched wooden door framed in stone, and a second facade in grey-beige stucco, reached by a short stone stair with a wrought-iron railing, carries a round-arched doorway with a brown double door and a glazed fanlight.

The house was built in the early 19th century and became the birthplace of writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette in 1873. The family left the property in 1891 when financial troubles forced them to relocate.

The rooms are furnished based on details Colette described in her own writings, showing how she lived as a child in this place. Visitors can see the everyday objects and spaces that shaped her early years.

The house opened to the public in May 2016 and is visited on guided tours of the house and gardens; check tour times before setting out. The interior was refurnished under chief heritage architect Pascal Prunet with decorator Jacques Grange, and the garden of Sido was recreated by landscape architect Françoise Phiquepal d'Arusmont from Colette's texts and period photographs.

In 1925 the silk merchant François Ducharne bought the house and gave Colette its use for life; she wrote to him, "Grâce à vous, je crois au merveilleux." The same year a facade plaque was installed reading "Ici Colette est née".
