Château du Patys - Maison/Musée Hervé Bazin
Hervé Bazin's historic family home has been awarded the "Maisons des Illustres" label, and the Château du Patys is the setting for the plot of his famous novel "Vipère au poing". This house museum is located just outside the village of Marans, in the heart of the Anjou Bleu region.
Discover the historic setting of "Vipère au poing", where the terrible Folcoche ran rampant. As you wander through the castle's twenty or so rooms, all furnished and decorated, you'll relive the novel and discover Hervé Bazin's ancestors, including many writers, as well as his entire body of work.Contact
