Located in the heart of the old village of Passy, the Maison de Balzac is the only one of the novelist's Parisian residences still standing today. It was in this pavilion on the slopes of Passy that Balzac wrote "La Comédie humaine". The museum displays personal memorabilia of the writer and his family, as well as numerous first editions, manuscripts and illustrations. Paintings, engravings and documents relating to his close friends and contemporaries are also on display.
