Highlights: Vémars hopes to better highlight the home of the writer François Mauriac. Long before becoming the town hall of this village in Val-d'Oise, the Château de la Motte was home to the Nobel Prize winner. On the ground floor, a large wooden desk, an almost century-old Remington typewriter. On an armchair, the hat of the former owner of the place. In a window, his watch, his press card, letters, some writings and books, lots of books.

The shelving even extends upstairs. Welcome to the small museum dedicated to the village of eastern Val-d'Oise to one of its famous inhabitants: the writer François Mauriac.
