For the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 in Paris, visit a museum like no other: the Musée Clemenceau! Take a stroll through the former French Prime Minister's apartment, with its garden and view of the Eiffel Tower, and revisit his history of France.

For the latest edition of the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris, take a stroll through a museum little known to Parisians: the Musée Clemenceau. It's an opportunity to discover the apartment overlooking the Eiffel Tower where the man nicknamed the Tiger lived. Join us on September 21 and 22, 2024 in the 16th arrondissement of Paris to discover the apartment.

This historic site, dedicated to one of France's most emblematic political figures, is the former home of the statesman who lived there from 1895 until his death in 1929. The address houses a museum that offers an insight into the life and times of Clemenceau: the tour allows visitors to explore the different facets of thepolitician's personality, who was also a journalist, doctor, writer and, of course,"le Tigre", his nickname during the First World War.

The collection includes personal effects, photographs, letters, archival documents and memorabilia relating to his private life and political career. Visitors to the various rooms will discover Clemenceau 's commitment to the Republic, freedom and justice. The museum also displays evidence of his role as a wartime leader during the Great War, and his decisive role in France's victory.

A visit to the Musée Clemenceau during the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 is an opportunity to revisit the history of France, both politically - the statesman was in turn President of the Council, Minister of the Interior and Minister of War until 1920 - and aesthetically. Indeed, it's a pleasure to visit this pretty four-room apartment, left in its original state, which opens onto a flower-filled garden with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
