Maison de Balzac in the 16th arrondissement of Paris is a tourist site that opens the house and workspace of the writer Honoré de Balzac. From the small garden café, visitors can drink coffee, tea, or beer while seeing part of the Eiffel Tower. Balzac rented the ground floor of this house in 1840 and lived there under a false name for seven years, and he also prepared a second entrance. The café is small in size.
