The Musée National Clemenceau-de Lattre comprises the house where Georges Clemenceau was born and the house where Jean de Lattre, Marshal of France, was born. Both are "Musée de France" and have the "Maison des Illustres" label.
Located in the heart of Mouilleron-Saint-Germain, just a few metres apart, rue du Temple is the link between the two properties, which are accessible via their gardens.
Presentation of the house where Georges Clemenceau was born: Self-guided tour.
Georges Clemenceau was born on 28 September 1841 in the house of his maternal grandfather, François Gautreau, a Republican and Protestant mayor, where his parents lived. He lived there for his first three years, spent his summer holidays there and stopped there for the rest of his life whenever he visited the Vendée.
The house where he was born is a museum that presents the many facets and modern ideas of this great man, beyond the traditional image of the "Father of Victory". This historical, biographical and civic museum allows visitors to explore the life and work of Clemenceau through 200 objects and 30 multimedia displays.
