Alphonse Allais in Honfleur, Calvados (14)

The wonderful writer, comedian, absurdist and punster Alphonse Allais (1854-1905), whose writings should be far more widely known, was born in this house in Honfleur. I'm unsure about his tiny museum, which I believe is now closed down due to lack at present of finding a more convenient home: information online is vague and sometimes contradictory. I end my post with the bust of Alphonse Allais in the entrance in Honfleur's Office de tourisme.
