Découvrez Villers-Cotterêts en suivant Alexandre Dumas

Follow the step-by-step life of Alexandre Dumas Père, author of Les Trois Mousquetaires, born in Villers-Cotterêts on July 24, 1802.

From the château built by François 1er, where Dumas learned the rudiments of the sword, to the Place du Docteur Mouflier, where his maternal grandfather's inn was located.

This tour of the town, punctuated by quotations from Alexandre Dumas' "Mémoires", will also take you past the house where he was born (private property - not open to the public) and the cemetery where his parents are buried.
Last but not least, a visit to the museum dedicated to the great writer would not be complete.
