Built between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century, this house was the main house of Pierre Loti, a travel writer from Rochefort.
In 1802, Pierre Loti’s maternal grandfather bought the building, which was then located on rue Saint-Pierre. In 1840, it was raised, thus gaining a floor. It was not until 1871 that Pierre Loti bought the house from his mother.
He then began numerous renovations, even going so far as to acquire adjoining houses to enlarge the space and realize all his projects. The author wanted to create a theme for each room, evoking his many travels.
Bought by the city of Rochefort in 1969, the first visits of the house, which has become a museum to the glory of the writer, started in 1973. Classified as a historical monument in 1990, Pierre Loti’s house has become a landmark of the city of Rochefort.
