Residence where Voltaire settled in 1758 and lived until his death in 1778, after rebuilding the château and turning the village into a thriving community of 1,500 people through workshops producing watches and silk. Restored between 2015 and 2018, it now displays his apartments and the chapel he built in 1761.
