The region preserves literary sites including the Maison Littéraire de Victor Hugo in Bièvres, where the writer spent his final years, and the Maison Fournaise in Chatou, which served as a subject in Renoir's paintings. The Musée de la Toile de Jouy documents the history of regional textile production.
