Discover the complex relationship between a legendary man and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Napoleon’s extraordinary life is inextricably linked to Paris. From his rise to power to his fall from grace, Paris was the theatre for some of the key moments in his career. A man of war, Napoleon made Paris the capital of an empire. A man of ambition, he revived Paris’ glittering court life. A man of vision, he reshaped the city and filled it with enduring institutions.
An exhibition produced by the Musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris, Paris Musées and the Canadian Museum of History.
