Lonely Planet review

Balzac's House, about 800m southwest of the Jardins du Trocadéro, is the Passy spa house where the realist novelist Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) lived and worked from 1840 to 1847, editing the entire Comédie Humaine and writing various books. There's lots of memorabilia, letters, prints and portraits, but this place is decidedly for dyed-in-the-wool Balzac fans only.
