  “The Maison de Balzac is a real hidden gem. Located in the 16e arrondissement, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Paris, this house-museum is a haven of peace steeped in history. It was here that the writer lived and worked on some of his most famous works, including La Comédie Humaine. As you stroll through the carefully preserved rooms, you'll discover manuscripts, personal objects and anecdotes that plunge you into the world of one of France's greatest authors. The garden, with its breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, is a real favourite. It's for a contemplative break, where the mind escapes both into history and the beauty of the present moment. Maison de Balzac is a timeless interlude, a place where you can reconnect with art and history in a unique setting.”
