The famous rental platform will select three winners who can each come with one person.

They will have the chance to exchange on site with the artist Gaël Faye, who admires the work of Alexandre Dumas.

“You don't understand an artist if you don't breathe his places.

Just by visiting the castle of Monte-Cristo during the day, I felt all the load, ”says the singer to the daily Ile-Cristo.

Two other sites in Ile-de-France

Airbnb also offers to win a stay of the same type in the studio of the painter Rosa Bonheur at the castle of Thomery (Seine-et-Marne) and in the office of Jean Cocteau in Milly-la-Forêt (Essonne). “We have chosen French icons, such as Rosa Bonheur, Alexandre Dumas and Jean Cocteau, to help the French rediscover their heritage, their land, their history, locally. We wanted to get back to basics, ”explains Emmanuel Marill, CEO France of Airbnb.

Candidates have until September 12 to participate in the competition and complete a form posted on the platform's website.

In particular, participants must explain how they would be the perfect guests for this unique experience.

A jury made up of curators and a member of the Ile-de-France Regional Tourism Committee will designate the winners.
