This is the actual house where Jean-Jacques Rousseau, one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers, lived in 1756-1757. He wrote parts of his major works like Julie, or the New Heloise here. It’s not a big museum, more like a historical house but that makes the visit intimate and easy to digest in an hour.
