Guided Tour: Rousseau, Whistleblower

Each month, the Maison Rousseau et Littérature (MRL) offers free guided tours of its Rousseau Trail, located on the very site where Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born. This immersive audiovisual journey explores the life and work of Rousseau — a thinker who preferred being a man of paradoxes over a man of prejudices — through seven thematic stops that highlight his contradictions and challenge us to reflect on our present, which he so remarkably foresaw.

In French.
