Maison de Balzac
Maison de Balzac Review
The modest Paris home of the great French 19th-century novelist Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) contains exhibits charting his tempestuous yet prolific career. Balzac penned the nearly 100 novels and stories known collectively as The Human Comedy, many of them set in Paris. You can still feel his presence in his study and pay homage to his favorite coffeepot—his working hours were fueled by his tremendous consumption of the "black ink." English-language information is available.
