Origin and history

The building is now labeled Musée de France, a national distinction guaranteeing the quality of its collections and management. The information available indicates a location at 31 Rue Victor Hugo, confirmed by GPS coordinates. The museum is administratively dependent on the commune of Saintes (code Insee 17073), in the district of La Rochelle.
