PLOMBIERES LES BAINS
PAVILLON DES PRINCES
Description
Built in 1815 during the Restoration, this pavilion was used as a home by a number of prominent figures, including the Duchesse d'Angoulême, the Duchesse d'Orléans and Napoleon III. Napoleon III stayed here on several occasions, alternating between political affairs in the morning and relaxation at the thermal baths in the afternoon. It was also here in 1858 that the ‘Secret Meeting’ between Napoleon III and Cavour, the Prime Minister of Piedmont-Sardinia, took place. This meeting decided the alliance between France and Piedmont against Austria, in exchange for the cession of Savoie, Nice and Haute-Savoie.
