House of Elsa Triolet - Aragon in Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines

Set in 5 hectares of parkland, the Villeneuve mill takes its visitors into the private world of Elsa Triolet and Louis d’Aragon. The XIIth century mill was frequently the setting and the source of inspiration for the couple’s writings. Reminders of the time when this was a working mill, a collection of the couple’s personal effects and a number of works by artist friends create a warm and unique atmosphere. It was here that some of the most beautiful pages in French literature were written.

Nowadays, this home of the two writers has adopted a triple role: as a place of remembrance with the tomb of the two authors and the apartment serving as museum; as a research centre with a library of 30,000 volumes; and as a centre of support for contemporary artistic creativity. Seven or eight exhibitions (paintings, sculpture, photographs and more), artistic gatherings and musical performances are held annually.
