PLOMBIERES LES BAINS
LE BALCON DE JOSÉPHINE
Description
Plombières-les-Bains is nicknamed the ‘town of 1,000 balconies’, but ‘Joséphine's balcony’, at no. 4 rue Stanislas, is without doubt the most emblematic. Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of the Emperor Napoleon I, stayed in this house during her cures. One day, while she was entertaining three friends, they heard a noise in the street and rushed to the balcony out of curiosity. Unfortunately, the balcony gave way under their weight. Joséphine was bruised in the fall and received treatment for her pain.
