Napoleon House / Mayor Girod House
The Napoleon House, built in the early 1800s, was originally intended as a residence for Napoleon Bonaparte during his planned exile, though he never arrived. Over the centuries, it has evolved into one of the city’s most famous bars and restaurants, known for its Pimm’s Cup cocktails and European ambiance.
The building’s weathered walls, old-world decor, and classical music create a timeless atmosphere. A visit to the Napoleon House offers both a culinary and historical experience, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ layered past.
