Photo: Châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau, Malmaison France.
A few years ago, I made the trip out of Paris to visit Malmaison, the beautiful former home of the Empress Joséphine. It was an amazing, magical day because the château is simply exquisite and still full of the Empress' personal belongings and much of her art collection. I adored wandering through the rooms, admiring Joséphine's wonderful taste and then pottering around the famous gardens, where her rose trees can still be seen, filling the Summer air with their heady fragrance.

Hi Ella, I am so in awe of historical writers, the patience and detail that goes into a story, its incredible. And reading below I see how easily one could be caught out with incorrect facts, wow, your research is hard hard work. You’ve just reconfirmed my heart is in contemporary. Or maybe its just that I’m too lazy to extend myself into such a detailed line. Good luck with your continuing research
