Origin and history

The Pavillon des Princes is a house located in Plombières-les-Bains, in the Vosges department, in the Grand Est region. Built around 1820 under the Restoration, it replaces the old house of Lorette, infirmary of the convent of Capuchins Sainte-Barbe, disappeared in 1791. This place served as a residence for members of the royal family who came to enjoy the thermal waters, such as the Duchess of Angoulême in 1828 or the Duchess of Orléans in 1842.

The pavilion is famous for having welcomed Napoleon III during three stays (1857, 1858, 1865). It was here that the meeting of Plumbières took place on 21 July 1858 between the emperor and Camillo Cavour, marking a turning point for Italian unification and the connection of Savoy and Nice to France. The building, of sober style with two floors and a Vosges sandstone balcony, was also used as a post office.

Ranked a historic monument in 1930, the pavilion is located in the Capuchin Pass, near the old Capuchin Garden, now partially preserved. Its modest architecture contrasts with its central role in French and European diplomatic history. The site is linked to Plombières thermal boom, a popular resort since the 19th century.
