This botanical walk aims to make the visitors discover the tinctorial secrets of the plant setting imagined by Chateaubriand. In support, a colour album is made from the "tintothèque" of Pérégreen. The walk also evokes the processes of natural dyeing as well as its history and future.

À propos du lieu

Domaine départemental de la Vallée-aux-Loups - Maison de Chateaubriand

87 rue de Chateaubriand 92290 Châtenay-Malabry

Hauts-de-Seine
Île-de-France

It was in this famous hermitage that Chateaubriand undertook the writing of his "Mémoires d'outre-tombe". The author fashions the property to his liking, building a portico supported by two white marble cariatides and decorating the north facade in troubadour style. The wooded park, planted by the author himself, is a mirror of his native Brittany and his travels in America and the Mediterranean. The carefully restored house offers a refined decor in the taste of the early nineteenth century.
