A remastered guided tour of a cultural
It is an artist’s house, the elegant and a little whimsical home of one of the greatest French poets and politicians. All over the château de Saint-Point, Alphonse de Lamartine and his wife Marianne have left their imprint, creating architectural collages (at the beginning of the 19th Century, they added Neo-Gothic towers and galleries to the medieval building) and romanticallydecorated interiors, punctuated by Marianne’s paintings. A complete work of art, therefore, and an endless source of inspiration to the poet, whose finest works were written from his garden bench or desk. And where Victor Hugo, Franz Litz or even George Sand stayed… And even the Roset collection, two hundred years later ! A remastered guided tour of a cultural landmark, bearing the Maison des Illustres label. « O temps, suspends ton vol » : the icons cross you without ever gaining a wrinkle.

The culture minute
Between Mâcon and Cluny, in Saône-et-Loire, Saint-Point, a castle built between the 12th and 14th centuries, classed as an historic monument and bearing the Maison des Illustres label, was from 1820 the residence of the poet and politician Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869). Preserved by his descendants, it has been open to visitors since 1869, the year Lamartine died, in particular the poet’s bedroom and office which have been frozen in time. Many objects and mementos which belonged to him have also been conserved and are on display at Saint-Point. Its new owners are continuing this heritage task, along with the restoration of the castle, opening it to the public from April to September.
