Nostradamus house

The Nostradamus house is a three-story stone building from the 16th century in Salon-de-Provence. It displays period furnishings, personal belongings, and materials related to Michel de Nostredame's life, including his study area with astronomical instruments and written documents.

Michel de Nostredame lived in this house for two decades and wrote his famous prophecies here. His work Les Prophéties was published in 1555 and brought him attention from the royal court, making him a notable figure of his era.

The rooms contain furnishings and objects that show how an educated Renaissance family lived and thought. You can see the kinds of books, instruments, and everyday items that mattered to someone deeply interested in learning and observation.

The house opens from Tuesday through Sunday and offers tours in different languages. Groups and schools should plan ahead to get the most from their visit.

The study room marks the exact location where he wrote his prophecies, creating a direct connection to his most famous work. This detail transforms the visit into something more than a museum - it is a place where history actually happened.
