Louis Braille's birthplace, located at 13 rue Louis Braille in Coupvray, France, is a preserved 18th-century Briard-style house that has been transformed into a museum dedicated to his life and legacy.
The house features a traditional stone façade with a modest, rustic charm, reflecting the typical rural architecture of the Brie region during that period.
Inside, visitors can explore the communal living area, which showcases period furnishings and provides insight into the daily life of the Braille family.
Upstairs, a room overlooking the garden is dedicated to Braille's revolutionary invention of the braille writing system, displaying early devices and offering visitors the opportunity to experience writing in relief.
