Agrippa d'Aubigné Home - Geneva

Agrippa d'Aubigné's home is located on Rue de l'Hotel-de-Ville in Geneva, Switzerland.  After a lifetime of adventure, the French poet finally lost favor with the court after his work Histoire universelle, published between 1616 and 1619, rankled the French royalty with its overt saracasm.  He was expelled from France with a death sentence over his head and made his way to the relative safety of Geneva.  Here he would live out the remaining ten years of his life, dying in this home on April 29, 1630 at the age of 78.  He would be best remembered for his 1616 epic poem Les Tragiques.  There is a plaque on the front of the building honoring his time here.
