The House of Maurice Ravel who has not moved one iota since his disappearance in 1937 is nestled in a small street in Montfort L’Amaury in the Yvelines, a street that bears the composer’s name, so it’s convenient for tourists.
When you go for a walk in Montfort l’Amaury, at Ravel’s house, you will soak up the atmosphere of a bourgeois life between two wars and you will imagine Ravel at home, surrounded by his familiar trinkets. Obviously we never talk about Ravel without his bolero, but know that since 1937, this 17-minute theme played all over the world has brought in more than 500 million royalties and that unfortunately for the rights holders, it is fell into the public domain in 2016.
Let’s sum up: Push the door of the Ravel house in Montfort l’Amaury in the Yvelines, guaranteed emotions, even a shock, we are in the 20s, without Internet, without smartphone, without television, finally without the slightest screen. 8 euros for adults, 4 euros for teenagers, free for children under 12.
