Step into the world of Napoleon and Joséphine at the Château de Malmaison, their intimate country residence where the Emperor spent his last days on French soil before exile. The rooms preserve original furnishings — from the tent-shaped Council Chamber to Joséphine's bedchamber adorned with Redouté flower paintings — alongside Napoleon's personal effects and his death mask cast on Saint Helena. A short walk away, the 16th-century Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul Church shelters the marble tombs of Empress Joséphine and her daughter Queen Hortense, plus a Renaissance organ case brought from Florence by Napoleon III. The château is closed on Tuesdays and takes a midday break from 12:30 to 13:30; booking is not required but arrive early to avoid weekend crowds.
