The famous philosopher at home
Near the Swiss border, the Château de Voltaire, built from 1758 to 1766, will host for 20 years one of the most illustrious philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment. It is for this reason that the house is classified as a historical monument.
The Château was built by Voltaire in 1758 and was a meeting place for the greatest minds of the Enlightenment. He spent 20 years of his life there, pursuing his combat against intolerance and writing his greatest works. Visitors can enter the philosopher’s private world by wandering in the restored apartments and discovering his life and work through innovative digital tools.
