... "HAPPY HE WHO LIKE ULYSSE,
HAS RETURNED SUCCESSFUL FROM HIS TRAVEL"

 

Famous Renaissance poet Joachim Du Bellay was born in Liré in 1522 at the castle of La Turmelière. He founded The Pleiad (La Pléiade) with Ronsard, and wrote numerous collections of poems. Du Bellay was very fond of Anjou, his birth place, and continuously praised his orignins in his writings.

 

The Musée Joachim Du Bellay is located in a charming 16th century mansion house with turret, called “Le Grand Logis”, at the heart of the “Petit Lyré” region.

Five different rooms recount the “beau voyage” (beautiful trip) of the poet from the Loire riverbanks in the region of Angers to the splendid city of Rome. Once there, you will discover the poet and his work through an original exhibition to discover the ruins of the poet’s birth castle in La Turmelière.
