A Barbey Museum in Aurevilly

Today, the Barbey Museum in Aurevilly will be inaugurated in Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte.
It is known that pious admirers of the great writer have gathered some memorabilia in the birthplace of the Constable of Letters; they are more than souvenirs, they are almost relics: autographs, books, furniture, and even clothing.
Mr. Paul Bourget is to preside over today's ceremony, during which Mr. Henry Bordeaux of the Académie Française and Mr. Lucien Descaves, on behalf of the Académie Goncourt, will speak.
