Overview of your Paris tour:

How do you become a general at age 24? Head of State at 30? And Emperor at 35? On this journey, we will understand the meteoric rise of Napoleon. We will discuss his vision as a Head of State with some of the two hundreds institutions and reforms he initiated to rebuild and modernize France after the chaotic French Revolution! You will also see the imprint he left on Paris' architecture thanks to the monuments and urban improvements he commissionned. Through anecdotes involving key figures such as the infamous Chancellor Talleyrand, Artist J. L. David, Pope Pie VII, and Napoleon's family, you will get a glimpse of Napoleon's personality, spirit and belief that anything was possible! Join me on a journey back in time to discover one of the most fascinating figure in French history!
