Malmaison

In the outskirts of Paris, Malmaison was the residence of Josephine and Napoleon during the short period of the Consulate. It was mainly a showcase for Josephine’s flowers, where her passion for botany could blossom. This human-size mansion was rather quickly decorated by architects Percier and Fontaine, who imposed the neoclassical style. Very well preserved and decorated with some original pieces of furniture and paintings. After the divorce in 1809, Josephine spent her last few years there, until she died in 1814.
