The tour takes you into the intimate world of the Caillebotte family: Célestre Daufresne and Martial Caillebotte, the parents, Gustave, Martial, Alfred and René, the four sons. It's an opportunity to discover this typical 19th-century building, where the famous Impressionist painter lived from 1860 to 1879 and painted some 580 pictures and drawings, some of which hang in the house.
