Step into the world of one of France’s greatest thinkers with a visit to Château de Voltaire in Ferney, the historic residence where the famous philosopher, writer, and historian spent the final twenty years of his life.
After settling in Ferney in 1758, Voltaire transformed both the château and the surrounding town into a thriving cultural centre. During his years here, he wrote thousands of letters, completed some of his most influential works, welcomed distinguished guests from across Europe, and became one of the leading voices of the French Enlightenment.
Explore the elegant rooms of the château and discover exhibitions dedicated to Voltaire’s extraordinary life and legacy. Admire artworks, sculptures, and historical objects while learning about his contributions to literature, philosophy, religious tolerance, and social reform.
Outside, stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens, visit the chapel and orangery, and enjoy the peaceful setting that inspired many of Voltaire’s writings and projects.
