Mah St Denis Saadellaoui 72
PhotographerThe Musée d’Art et d’Histoire Paul Éluard is a cultural nugget nestled in the heart of Saint-Denis. Housed in a former 17th-century Carmelite monastery, it tells a fascinating story. Once dedicated to monastic life, the building was transformed into a museum in the 1980s.
Today, it honors art in all its forms, while paying tribute to Paul Éluard, a major figure in poetry born in Saint-Denis. A perfect blend of heritage, poetry and creativity.
At the Musée Paul Éluard, there’s no room for boredom! Between permanent and temporary exhibitions, interactive workshops and captivating lectures, there’s something for everyone.
Lovers of contemporary art rub shoulders with local history buffs, and families are sure to find something to their liking with fun activities adapted to the youngest visitors. In short, it’s the perfect place for an original and inspiring outing!
The museum preserves a unique treasure: the remains of the former 17th-century Carmelite convent, including the nuns’ cells.
This place steeped in history plunges you into the monastic life of yesteryear, offering a fascinating contrast between the Carmelite spiritual past and the artistic effervescence of today. A memorable visit that combines history and modernity.
