Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Perhaps Napoleon’s only passion greater than his love for Josephine was his desire, almost an obsession, for Paris to be the most magnificent city in the world. After he became Emperor, he devoted more resources to improving the capital than had any previous French monarch. The Parisians adored Napoleon and felt he made their city greater by building beautiful bridges, streets, fountains, schools, and monuments. To see these places is to experience the Empire itself. Four walks through Paris tell the story of Napoleon and Josephine’s lives by visiting sights associated with the famous couple. Their coronation route is traced from the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel near the Louvre, which Napoleon commissioned, to Notre-Dame where the ceremony took place exactly two hundred years ago. The couple’s homes at Malmaison and Fontainebleau are explored, and listings of historic restaurants and shops, detailed museum guides, maps, and many color illustrations are included.
