The Route Napoléon

Napoleon, Return from Elba

And the Eagle will fly from steeple to steeple, all the way to the towers of Notre-Dame.

Napoleon I is without doubt one of the world’s best-known figures.
What a dazzling destiny in less than 20 years! Endowed with exceptional intellectual faculties, a charismatic and ambitious leader of men, he changed the face of the political world. After the terrible Russian campaign and the famous Berezina, the Treaty of Fontainebleau put an end to his reign, condemning him to exile on the island of Elba with an annuity that was never paid out, while retaining his title of emperor.
The unpopularity of the Bourbons and the misunderstanding of the Allies encouraged him to attempt an incredible adventure.
