Musée de la Vie Romantique


When Dutch artist Ary Scheffer lived in this villa at the end of the lane, the area was home to so many artists and writers it was known as "New Athens". George Sand was a frequent guest at many of Sheffer's soirées as were many other notable names of the time. The museum contains many mementos owned by Sand and Scheffer and is located at the foot of Montmartre.
