Louis Pasteur’s house in Arbois

During his lifetime, Louis Pasteur remained faithful to his family home, which was renovated and extended.  It was, he said, his «Château de la Cuisance ».
The house has kept intact the interior decorations chosen by the scientist at the end of the XIX century: wallpapers, drapes, furniture and items of daily use. Restored with much care by its owner, the Académie des Sciences, this is a memorial which is still lived in where, as one treads the stairs and galleries, one feels one is entering into the very life of the famous inventor of the rabies vaccine.
