Musée
Saint-Gérand-le-Puy · Allier · Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

The James Joyce Museum in Saint-Gérand-le-Puy, located in Allier in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, traces the little-known stay of Irish writer James Joyce in this rural village. In December 1939, Joyce found refuge there for the last year of his life, far from Paris threatened by World War II. The museum documents this period through exhibitions devoted to the writer's daily life, his concerns, his work on Finnegans Wake, and his relationships with the inhabitants of the place. The museum also offers recreational activities, including an escape game, a resource library, and organizes literary and cultural events throughout the year. Visits by appointment are possible outside of regular opening hours.
