The Maison Balzac in Paris is a museum dedicated to the French writer Honorè Balzac. It is located near the Bois de Boulogne Park, in the Passy area.
The writer stayed in the Maison de Balzac from 1840 to 1947 and here he wrote some of his best novels such as  La Rabouilleuse, Une Ténébreuse Affaire and La Cousine Bette. Most important he created his real  masterpiece called the Comedie humaine, a collection of 137 novels and poems. The museum has got a garden and is very humble ; it was bought from the city of Paris and converted into a museum. It's really important because it’s the only existing house of Balzac.
