Médan, a historic village on the banks of the Seine, located a stone’s throw from Villennes-sur-Seine, has close ties with France’s literary history. Émile Zola bought his house there in 1878, won over by the village’s charm and tranquillity. It was here that he worked on “Les Rougon-Macquart”, and hosted the writers behind the famous “Soirées de Médan”. His former home now houses the Maison Zola – Musée Dreyfus.

The nearby Villennes-sur-Seine station takes you to Paris-Saint-Lazare via line J. The area’s appeal will be further enhanced by the westward extension of the RER E line, due to be completed by 2027, offering new direct connections along this route to La Défense, Porte Maillot and the heart of Paris.
