[FR] Elle fut le lieu d’éveil d’une vocation artistique exceptionnelle et d’un talent unique. En effet, « cette vieille baraque pleine de souvenirs et de nostalgie» était pour Charles Trenet, la source de toutes les inspirations. Ouverte au public depuis novembre 2000, la maison propose une scénographie audiovisuelle et interactive, elle invite le visiteur à découvrir des documents d’archives, des souvenirs personnels ; et plonge enfin le visiteur dans le jardin extraordinaire de Trenet.

[EN] This location is a French "Maison des Illustres" characterized by its orange plaque.

Much more than that, it is also the place where his exceptional artistic vocation and unique talent were awakened. This old house was for Charles Trenet the source of all his inspirations. His childhood and his memories of pleasant, provincial France, near the sea, cradled by the Tramontane winds, still exist here in the charming and delightful city of Narbonne, his old friend, the city to which he always remained faithful.

With an original scenography, the archived and interactive documents will enable you to share the incredible gaiety of the “Singing Madman”!
