Inspired Homes / 6 – George Sand
A friendly place of intense artistic emulation.
It was at the death of his grandmother that George Sand, whose real name was Aurore Dupin, inherited an eighteenth century castle in Nohant-Vic in the heart of Berry. The house in which she had spent her childhood, becomes an essential living environment for the novelist. Throughout her life, she stayed there frequently, surrounded by her family and her Berrichon or Parisian friends and settled there definitively in 1853. Very attached to the campaign berrrichonne, she finds her inspiration in the rural atmosphere of its surroundings . It is in this house, where the time today seems to have stopped, that she finds herself and writes most of her work. “As it is, it lent itself to our needs, our tastes and the necessities of our occupations: we found a way to make painting workshops, an engraving workshop, a small library, a small theater with cloakroom and decor store. This is also where Frédéric Chopin settled for nine years to share her life and composehis best work.
