Located on the third floor of the main house, the Garret Rooms are modeled after artists’ studios of 19th century Paris, and built into the eaves of the house. Degas, himself, lived in Parisian garrets. As a “night crawler” he enjoyed the quiet and privacy of the garret removed from the street noise and daylight. There are no windows, but all rooms have private baths, hardwood floors, and charming antique furnishings. Named for the children of the household, Degas’ nieces and nephews are documented to have played in the open attic space on rainy days. Pierre was Rene and Estelle's first born son, and Edgar Degas' nephew. The room is a subtle, sage green color, and its features include hardwood floors, a brass Queen Bed, one Twin Bed, and ceiling fan. Its furnishings include dark wood dresser, armoire, and nightstand. This room has a spacious, open floor-plan. The large, private bathroom has tile flooring and a shower. The Pierre Room can accommodate up to 3 guests.
