Origin and history
The Flaubert Pavilion is a museum dedicated to the writer Gustave Flaubert, located in Croisset, a hamlet of Canteleu on the banks of the Seine, near Rouen. This pavilion is the only vestige of the property acquired by Gustave Flaubert's father in 1844. The writer lived there for 35 years and wrote his entire work, deeply attaching to this place.
The pavilion was classified as historic monuments on 18 April 1914. He suffered damage during a bombing on 25 August 1943. Today, it houses Flaubert's personal objects, such as daubert feathers, inkwriters, a golden Buddha, as well as portraits, drawings and engravings related to his life and Croisset.
Since 1 January 2021, the pavilion and its garden have been integrated into the Réunion des musées métropolitains Rouen Normandie. The site is managed by the municipality of Canteleu and remains an emblematic place for lovers of literature and local history.
