Maison Jean Ferrat
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Antraigues, the Maison Jean Ferrat isn't your typical museum; it's a heartfelt pilgrimage into the soul of one of France's most beloved singer-poets. You step directly into his world, surrounded by his personal library, original manuscripts with their scribbled corrections, and his iconic guitar. The air feels thick with creativity, as if he just stepped out for a moment. It’s an incredibly intimate and moving experience that connects you to the man behind the powerful anthems of social justice and love.
Collection Highlights
You can pore over his handwritten song lyrics, see his simple desk where he worked, and even listen to rare recordings that tell the story of his life and career. Don't miss the poignant photographs that capture his deep connection to this very village and its people.
Visitor Information
After your visit, do what Jean would have done—grab a coffee at the village square right outside and just soak in the atmosphere. It’s a small place, so you don't need to block out a whole day, but you'll want to linger.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in his former home, a traditional Ardèche stone house with shutters and a tiled roof that blends perfectly into the rustic landscape of the village.
