Maison de Balzac

Balzac rented the Passy house between 1840 and 1847 and wrote most of La Comédie humaine in it, and the museum keeps his manuscripts, proofs and household keepsakes in the rooms themselves. It is one of the municipal museums that is free to all visitors, with no ticket needed for the permanent display.
