The Vibe:George Sand's world, down a leafy lane
Tucked down a cobbled lane in the old Nouvelle Athènes quarter, this 1830s villa was the painter Ary Scheffer's home. Its rooms evoke the Romantic salons of George Sand.
A rose-filled courtyard leads into small, intimate rooms. Portraits, jewellery and plaster casts recall the Romantic circle who once gathered here.
