Musee National Eugene Delacroix

Nestled in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, on the charming Place de Furstemberg, the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix offers a rare sense of intimacy. Housed in the last apartment and studio where the Romantic master lived and worked until his death in 1863, this museum provides a direct immersion into the creative world of the painter of Liberty Leading the People. Far from the crowds of major Parisian museums, visitors can discover his paintings, drawings, as well as his personal belongings and correspondence, bearing witness to the daily and intellectual life of a 19th-century genius. The true treasure of the museum lies in its private garden, an unexpected haven of peace in the heart of Paris. Delacroix himself designed it to house his studio, bathed in northern light. This carefully restored garden invites contemplation amidst seasonal flowers and the surrounding silence. It is an artistic sanctuary that allows us to understand the deep connection between the artist and his environment, making this visit a poetic and hushed interlude in the heart of the capital.
