​The Room Where Louis Braille was Born
It is believed all of the Braille children, including Louis, were born in this little bedroom which is a recessed alcove off of the main room of the house. The christening gown spread on the bed is typical of those used at that time. Louis ​Braille’s birth date was January 4, 1809. He was christened four days later in Coupvray’s Church of St. Pierre.
