Description
The house was probably erected at the beginning of the 19th century, accompanied by its gardens. Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette was born there and lived there until the age of 17. Although the house and its gardens were sold later, the writer will always keep a strong link with this place, which serves as a backdrop for several of his novels and even becomes one of the protagonists of his work.
