L'impératrice Eugénie

This book retraces the life of Eugénie (1826-1920), Empress of France, from her native Andalousia to the imperial throne, before exile, mourning and resilience. The authors bring to light a strong and touching personality of the French history.

Mecca of court life under Napoléon III's reign, the Château de Compiègne keeps a part of the apartments arranged by the Empress. Unpublished photographs of the collections it keeps evoke the memories of the last sovereign of France.
