The house that the Guizot family lived in in Paris was located in part of the rue de la Ville l'Évêque, which was destroyed when the boulevard de la Madeleine was built. Guizot was therefore one of those expropriated by Baron Haussmann.

This «little house», to which its occupant was always attached because of the memories it brought back, came from his family. Meulan-Dillon. Behind the desk is a portrait of Lord Aberdeen, his dearest friend.

«It was in 1809, 50 years ago, that I first came to stay in this house. It became my property in 1828, when I married your mother. The longest and sweetest part of my life was spent here. Fortunately, life leaves its traces elsewhere than in the walls where it took place. But the walls were dear to me and I will always regret them.»
