A Ghostly Gastronomic Soiree at the Hôtel de Mourgue

A Ghostly Gastronomic Soiree at the Hôtel de Mourgue

Gather round the enigmatic tables of the Hôtel de Mourgue's dining room, where Napoleon's sister, Pauline, and the illustrious playwright, Jean Racine, have been known to join you for supper.

Welcome to the Hôtel de Mourgue, a relic of the 18th century, its dining room a charming enigma. Graced with elaborate wood panels and golden moldings, the room's atmosphere is both intimate and unsettling, thanks to the dancing candles that cast the only light. The spectral charm of the place doesn't stem solely from its baroque adornments but also from the impressive company that once broke bread here - among them, the Comtesse de Gelcourt, sister to Napoleon, and the renowned playwright, Jean Racine. It's uncertain whether the hotel is currently in service.
