Maison de Nostradamus

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:01:12

Inside the pedestrian Vieille Ville is the Maison de Nostradamus, where the philosopher lived from 1547 until his death in 1566. Scrolls of Nostradamus' prophecies line the walls, while often macabre wax figures recreate key scenes from his life, accompanied by piped commentary in several languages (tell the front desk what language you'd like and they'll run it on the next available loop). Nostradamus' remains lie behind a plaque inside the Collégiale St-Laurent, built in 1344.
