THE JOSEPHINE HOUSE
Go there and contact
A house that recalls the memory of Madame Campan, reader to the daughters of Louis XV and Josephine de Beauharnais.
This elegant 18th-century building is first and foremost a reminder of Madame Campan, who lived here with her husband between 1785 and 1792. From the age of 15, she was reader to the daughters of Louis XV, then chambermaid to Marie-Antoinette, to whom she remained devoted until her death. An outstanding educator, she founded a renowned boarding school that welcomed some of Napoleon's family and French high society. After the Campans had passed away, Joséphine, still a Beauharnais widow, took refuge there with her children during the Terror between 1792 and 1794.
