Absinthe is the writers and artists’ spirit. It is towards the end of the XVIIIth century that the first trace of absinthe was found.
According to the legend, absinthe was invented by Pierre Ordinaire, a French doctor, in 1792.
Nevertheless, it was during the second half of the XIXth century that absinthe, through its inspiring virtues, became immensely popular amongst great poets and great painters: Musset, Apollinaire, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec as well as Picasso.
