Beyond his Grave – Histrocore

The return of Napoleon’s remains to France and the making of his posthumous legend.

Historical background

Napoleon died on Saint Helena in 1821. In 1840, under Louis-Philippe, a French expedition recovered his remains and brought them back to France.

The funeral procession through Paris drew large crowds. The tomb at Les Invalides turned the former emperor’s burial place into a public monument, showing how political memory could outlast the empire itself.
