Hidden gem near disneyland. Learn a lot. Guided is super good, really helpfull and teach us how to read and write in braile. Hidden gem . See a true genius born and live. If you have half a day free in Paris, by all means go to this wonderful and escape the mad crowds of central Paris. We were made to feel so welcome by Faridah. We arrived during lunch time when the was closed. We contacted Faridah and knowing we were waiting, she arrived earlier to make our wait shorter. It's not enough to just walk around the birthhouse. You must go inside and for that you simply must do the tour. We learnt so many new things about Louis Braille and his life! And Faridah patiently answered all our questions. :-) An exciting part for the children and the adults alike was learning to write our names in Braille using special punch boards. We also loved the lovely spring garden. We will always have very fond memories of the day. Thank you, Faridah! Closed on the day we went but maybe next time we’ll be able to visit!! We had the absolute honor of visiting the Musée Louis Braille in Coupvray, and our experience was made incredibly meaningful thanks to Stéphan, our guide. As two Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVIs) and as a mother of a blind child; this visit was deeply personal for us. Stéphan was not only warm and welcoming, but he also provided one of the most thorough, engaging, and passionate tours we’ve ever experienced. He guided us through Louis Braille’s incredible life, inventions, and legacy with care and depth, answering every question and making the history come alive. He also took the time to show us the sensory garden walk, a beautiful and inclusive space that reflects Braille’s impact through multiple senses. As we left, he gave us a detailed map and clear directions so we could continue our visit to the monument and burial site, where Louis Braille’s hands remain a symbolic and emotional moment we’ll never forget. Thank you, Stéphan, for going above and beyond. Your dedication to sharing this important history truly touched our hearts. This is a must-visit for anyone who believes in accessibility, inclusion, and the power of literacy. Fantastically interesting museum. Guide was really good conducted the tour in french and English. Quite honestly the best I have been to. Louis Braille is rightly celebrated as a pioneer of the braille alphabet, bringing light to the lives of the blind. You will find a very kind natured and enthusiastic staff, just thrilled to tell you about the man himself. It is also EXTREMELY accessible for the Blind. My partner is blind, and we had a brilliant day at the museum. They also show the other systems invented, but in such a way that you can see the reason why the simple and straight forward 6 dot Braille was the system that was adopted world wide. 6 stars out of 5 Amazing experience. The curator is awesome! If you have any curiosity in regards to Braille it is a must see. Wonderful and interesting visit. The guide was very knowledgeable and visit in English. Bravo merci Stéphane was an exceptional tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about braille. I am incredibly appreciative that he gave the tour in French and in English. Thank you! I absolutely will be back! Next time I’d love to take the train from Paris and spend a couple nights in Coupvray. It was so peaceful. At the time, they only accepted cash and NOT card. Be sure to have cash for the tour and if you want to get something from the gift shop. If you have half a day free in Paris, by all means go to this wonderful and escape the mad crowds of central Paris.
