RISE OF NAPOLEON - ONLINE JOURNEY


JOURNEY DESCRIPTION:

Let’s travel back in time and understand how one of the youngest (24!) and most victorious general of the French Revolution rose to power and ultimately crowned himself Emperor at Notre-Dame!

Through pictures of France then and now on a slide show, we'll walk in the footsteps of Napoleon and Josephine, the love of his life.

I will show you a map of Paris where each event took place so you can visit them on your next trip :)

We will discuss the key turning points of Napoleon’s childhood, his early military career as a general of the French Revolution and the reasons why he ultimately crowned himself Emperor.

You will get a glimpse of his vision as a Head of State as well as the imprint he left on Paris’ architecture. I am looking forward to helping you discover the most captivating figure in French history!

This online journey is perfect for anyone having no prior or little knowledge of the revolution, as well as those who are familiar with the subject and would like to explore it further. All questions are welcome :)
