Maison de Balzac
The novelist's last Paris home — a modest green-shuttered cottage tucked into the hillside of Passy, with a garden looking over the rooftops. Here Balzac corrected 'La Comédie humaine'; the museum keeps his manuscripts, portraits, caricatures and his famous monogrammed coffee pot. The permanent collections are free.
