Musée départemental Raymond Poincaré, museum in France
The musée départemental Raymond Poincaré is a museum in Sampigny housed in the former summer residence of a French president. The building contains displays of documents, photographs, and personal objects from Poincaré's life and career, as well as items that reflect the local history of the region.
The building was the summer residence of Raymond Poincaré, who served as French president in the early 1900s and led the country particularly during World War One. After his lifetime, the house was converted into a museum to preserve his legacy and the history of that formative period.
The museum occupies the private residence of Raymond Poincaré, showing how a leading French politician of the early 20th century lived beyond his public duties. The personal objects and room furnishings give insight into his everyday life and interests at home.
The museum can be visited during the months from April through November on most weekdays, though it closes on Tuesdays. Groups can arrange visits outside this period by request, and entry is free, making it easy to explore the collection.
The grounds include not only the house itself but also a garden, an orchard, and a beekeeping area that reveal Poincaré's personal interests and love of nature. These outdoor spaces offer a lesser-known view of his life away from politics and diplomacy.
