This was a wonderfully unique museum experience, but there simply wasn't enough English to make it meaningful to us. Highly recommended only for those who speak French. More

Not so much a museum as an insight into Satie's quirkiness. Don't miss the player piano room. More

A very strange experience, just like Satie was a very strange fellow in real life. Filled with crazy experimental art, it had a very different feeling compared to the quaint atmosphere of Honfleur. Don't miss the interactive instruments. More

Honfleur is a lovely town, but this museum in Saties actual house is a must. It is fantastically put together to give you a flavour of his life, influences, views and music in a fantasy enviroment. Our 10 year old daughter thought it was brilliant. A must do place. More
