About this episode
The history of absinthe is a tale of madness, creative genius, smuggling, fairies and bad behaviour in the Belle-Époque, a time of peace and economic prosperity in France when the arts flourished from early 1870 until 1914 and the start of the first world war.
Created as a medicine from wormwood plants by a doctor fleeing the French Revolution, it is a very French drink!
