[FR] Par le biais de cet alcool, ancêtre du pastis et interdit en 1915, le Musée de l’Absinthe permet un regard insolite et nouveau sur la société du XIXè siècle. Il souligne l’importance de la vie de café pour le milieu artistique à cette époque où les Impressionnistes, amateurs de la fée verte, y exposaient leurs oeuvres.

A forerunner of today's anise-based aperitifs like Ricard and Pernod, absinthe was France's national drink before it was banned in 1915 because of its negative effects on the nervous system. A famous painting by Edgar Degas shows two absinthe drinkers; van Gogh also probably downed a few glasses at the Auberge Ravoux in town.
