The Little Prince is the most read and most translated book in the French language. Written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the story has been translated into more than 250 languages and has sold over 80 million copies worldwide. This museum is devoted to this wonderful story and to the life of Saint-Exupéry, displaying dozens of hand-written letters and photos. The museum grounds and buildings have been designed to replicate a French town and castle where he lived in his younger age. There is also a cafe and restaurant. An index of "Hakone's seven nice museums" series is here.
