Émile Zola's home

The Émile Zola house at 26 rue Pasteur in Médan in the Yvelines department was inhabited by Émile Zola , who bought it in 1878 with a profit from his novel The Blackjack . In 1983 the house was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as a monument historique .

The house was expanded according to his ideas, with the Germinal and Nana towers being built. He stayed here for 24 years until his death in 1902. There he wrote eight of his novels, such as Germinal , Nana , Die Beast im Menschen and, in 1890, The Ladies' Paradise . Georges Poisson campaigned successfully to save the neglected building.

The trains running within sight inspired Zola to write his novel The Beast in Man .
