When Voltaire acquired Ferney in 1758, he had no idea that the next twenty years spent there would be the most productive of his existence. Those of the Treatise on Tolerance and the Philosophical Dictionary, those of his struggle against the injustices of society and his defense of the victims of political and religious intolerance.
Far from Versailles, Voltaire found freedom in this sanctuary. His intense intellectual activity and his clear influence in his active correspondence, drew the great minds of the Enlightenment and high society to Ferney. Ferney became a “place of memory” on the philosopher’s death in 1778, a place where visitors from all horizons come to pay homage to the patriarch and seek inspiration.
