Encouraged in his early years as an artist by Édouard Manet, Jacques-Émile Blanche turned his hand to literature, music and painting.
A talented portraitist, he settled in Offranville from 1902 and made his home into a place for leading figures in the arts and literature to meet. The Musée Jacques-Émile Blanche provides moving coverage of the works of this prolific artist. It stands in the midst of the charming Parc du Colombier, on the first floor of a former 18th-century charretterie, now converted into a tea room and venue for cultural activities.
