Mabel's Cottage is a minor location in the 2007 Disney/Pixar film Ratatouille. It is a small cottage in a France countryside near Paris and is the home of the elderly Mabel and was also the previous home of Remy and his rat colony.

Background[]

Mabel's Cottage lies on a country field. She lives in it alone and usually just spends her time cooking and watching television, combining the two by watching the cooking channel, to which she ends up falling asleep to. The movie's protagonist Remy and his colony reside in her attic where the leader and Remy's dad, Django tells him to keep away from Mabel given that she's been trying to kill them by dousing food with rat poison. Mabel also keeps a shotgun in her cottage in case the rats manage to enter in her cottage. Despite this, Remy usually enters her quarters to read the book of the famous chef and Remy's idol, Auguste Gusteau, who Mabel seems to also be a fan of.

One night, Remy and his brother Emile enter Mabel's kitchen to get some saffron for some food Remy found. However, when Remy finds the saffron, he gets distracted by a broadcast on Mabel's tv that talks about Gusteau's death, which occurred two years ago after his restaurant gained a negative review by the antagonistic food critic Anton Ego. But just as Remy is processing this devastating news, Mabel turns off the tv and sees Remy and Emile in her kitchen. Panicking, she grabs her shotgun and begins shooting all over the place in hopes of killing the rats, but her recklessness ends up causing the chandelier in the midst of her cottage to come crashing down and expose the colony to her, prompting her to run out of her home in fear and the rats do the same.

It is unknown what became of the cottage after that as Mabel either had it repaired or abandoned it and relocated to another home.
