Historique
De Gaulle acquiert la "Boisserie" le 9 juin 1934. En 1946, il fait construire la tour pour y installer son bureau, dans lequel y écrira ses Mémoires. Les pièces du rez-de-chaussée (salle à manger, salon, bibliothèque, bureau) ont conservé l'aménagement qu'elles avaient à la mort du général. Le jardin est orné de deux statues dont l'une réalisée par Bourdelle en 1919, et offerte au général en 1944.

History
De Gaulle acquires the "Boisserie" on 9 June 1934. In 1946, he has a tower built to install his office, in which he will write his Memoirs. The rooms on the ground floor (dining room, drawing room, library, office) have retained the layout they had at the time of the general's death. The garden is adorned with two statues, one of which was executed by Bourdelle in 1919 and offered to the general in 1944.
