#FrenchWriters #Balzac

A joke led me down a rabbit hole and I realized it knew nothing about the man except his name.
Interesting guy who it seemed had trouble conforming:

(Wikipedia) "An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac had trouble adapting to the teaching style of his grammar school. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. When he finished school, Balzac was apprenticed in a law office, but he turned his back on the study of law after wearying of its inhumanity and banal routine. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician; he failed in all of these efforts. La Comédie humaine reflects his real-life difficulties and includes scenes from his own experience."

Ce samedi j’ai visité la maison de Balzac à Paris.

On y trouve un petit musée littéraire, une bibliothèque, et elle est entourée d’un jardin vraiment charmant.
Un petit havre de paix…

Chaises longues dans le jardin ✅ 😉

Quelques photos ! 🧵 ⤵️

Vue en plongée de la maison de Balzac entourée de son jardin, depuis la rue Raynouard. La maison est en forme de L et est en partie dissimulée derrière la végétation du jardin, composée notamment d’arbres et d’arbustes. A l’arrière-plan, la tour Eiffel s’élève dans un ciel bleu parcouru de légères traînées nuageuses horizontales.
Vue de l’une des façades de la maison, depuis l’intérieur du jardin. On parvient à la maison en empruntant un petit chemin sablonneux bordé de végétation. Devant la maison, une table de jardin verte à l’ombre d’un arbre. Les volets de la maison sont de la même couleur verte. A l’arrière-plan, la pointe de la tour Eiffel se découpe dans le ciel bleu.
Une petite table ronde et deux chaises de jardin vertes, dans le jardin, qui compte d’autres recoins pour que les visiteurs s’y reposent un petit moment.
Découpée dans un large mur, une entrée fermée par une grande porte en bois du même vert que les volets de la maison, au-dessus d’une volée de 3 marches. Le mur est en partie couvert de plantes grimpantes.

With his accent I thought it was a heckle at first 😏
