Source
The Marguerite-Yourcenar Museum is situated in the heart of Saint-Jans-Cappel, a commune in the Dunkirk district, in the canton of Bailleul-Nord-Est. This location is easily accessible via highway exits (A25) and the railway station located in Bailleul, which is just 5 kilometers from the village. This makes it a convenient destination for tourists.
Collection and Exhibits at the Museum
The Marguerite-Yourcenar Museum is primarily a place of memories. It houses a collection of photos, works, and documents related to the writer's childhood and her visits to Mont-Noir, Saint-Jans-Cappel, and Bailleul. Visitors can explore her childhood, education, journey, and her taste for adventure that led her to the United States, on the Desert Mountains island.
Hiking Trail to the Marguerite-Yourcenar Villa
The Marguerite-Yourcenar Museum is connected to the Marguerite-Yourcenar villa, a residence of writers, by the "sentier des jacinthes", a 6 km hiking trail. This trail offers a scenic route for visitors who enjoy walking and wish to explore more of the area.
