L’hôtel Chantereine
S’il ne reste aujourd’hui plus rien de l’hôtel Chantereine, dátruit en 1862 lors des grands travaux d’Haussmann, les personnages qui l’ont habité et ceux qui l’ont fréquenté ont marqué I’Histoire de France d’une empreinte indélébile, de la fin de I’Ancien Régime à l’aube du Premier Empire. Julie Careau, "demoiselle de l’Opéra" faisant alors profession de galanterie, s’y installe en 1780. Elle y tient l’un des salons les plus courus de Paris, où elle accueille Talleyrand, Mirabeau ou Chamfort, et le tragédien Talma, qu’elle épouse en 1791. L’hõtel devient bientôt le lieu de rencontre privilégié des membres du parti girondin dont beaucoup, tels Brissot ou Madame Roland, finissent sous le couperet de la guillotine ou se suicident, comme Condorcet, aux heures sombres de la Terreur. En 1795, Julie, abandonnée par Talma, loue son hõtel à la citoyenne Joséphine de Beauharnais, veuve du général en chef de l’armée du Rhin décapité un an plus tôt. Par l’entremise de son ami Barras, Joséphine rencontre le jeune "général-Vendémiaire", Napoléon Bonaparte, qu’elle épouse en 1796, juste avant qu’il ne parte se couvrir de gloire au cours de la campagne d’Italie. A son retour, Napoléon rachète à Julie l’hôtel Chantereine. II y réside avec Joséphine jusqu’au 15 Novembre 1799: devenu Premier Consul de la République après son coup d’état du 18 Brumaire (9 novembre), il s’installe au Palais du Luxembourg.

One of the series of signs describing historical places in Paris. The signs were placed starting in 1992 and are also called sucettes Starck (Starck’s Lollipops) after Philippe Starck who designed them.

This sign is different from the other signs in the series: it is not on a pillar, and it does not have the symbol of the municipality of Paris and the inscription Histoire de Paris

The Chantereine Hotel
If today nothing remains of the Chantereine hotel, destroyed in 1862 during Haussmann’s major works, the people who lived there and those who frequented it have left their mark on the history of France. an indelible mark, from the end of the Ancien Régime to the dawn of the First Empire. Julie Careau, "demoiselle de l’Opéra" then making a profession of gallantry, moved there in 1780. She held one of the most popular salons in Paris, where she welcomed Talleyrand, Mirabeau and Chamfort, and the tragedian Talma , whom she married in 1791. The hotel soon became the preferred meeting place for members of the Girondin party, many of whom, such as Brissot or Madame Roland, ended up under the guillotine or committed suicide, like Condorcet, in the dark hours of terror. In 1795, Julie, abandoned by Talma, rented her hotel to the citizen Joséphine de Beauharnais, widow of the general in chief of the Army of the Rhine who had been beheaded a year earlier. Through her friend Barras, Joséphine met the young “General-Vendémiaire”, Napoléon Bonaparte, whom she married in 1796, just before he left to cover himself with glory during the Italian campaign. On his return, Napoleon bought the Hôtel Chantereine from Julie. He resided there with Joséphine until November 15, 1799: having become First Consul of the Republic after his coup d’état of 18 Brumaire (November 9), he moved to the Luxembourg Palace.
