I visited Malmaison just once, in 2007. It was amazing to me because it is fully furnished, unlike Versailles. So it was much easier to imagine it as a home that was lived in.

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

You can really see what their private lives were like, away from the city.

[@brunol-p_g8800]

Indeed, because it’s very hard to find the original furniture of Versailles. After the Revolution, everything that the Royals owned was sold at auctions and Versailles as well as other palaces and castles were totally emptied.

visited Malmaison in 2016 and just back from Pompeii last month. The trips are now completed with your info from this episode. Thank You!!!

[@ramondiazshow]

Thank you very much for this visit to the magnificent Mailmaison. My dad taught me to love Napoleon when I was a kid. As an adult I have read any new biography or novel of the Emperor that I can find. Watching the house for the first time makes me very happy. I was in France in 2011 but didn't visit this beautiful and historical place. Thanks

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

Thanks for watching. I hope you get to visit in person. Like you, I had read everything I could find, so as you can tell, I was very excited to visit.

This is like our grandma teaching us history lol. Amazing

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

I must apologize as I misspoke during the filming. I said at one point that Alexander I visited Josephine after Waterloo. Josephine had passed away before Waterloo. Alexander I visited her when Napoleon was still on Elba. He did help her children after Waterloo and Napoleon's final exile to St. Helena. Sam was too kind to correct me on film!

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@1stThailand]

gosh darn . love the colors in the Pompeii dining room. Earthy pale Tiffanys green with grays and backed with that pale pink contrast is tacky keen. its gorgeous

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

I like the term "tacky keen." It does work....at least for Napoleon!

Après avoir étudier un sujet pendant très longtemps de manière théorique ... Je me demande quel effet cela fait de voir et de toucher de manière concrète le sujet de son étude ... Est ce que cela correspond à ce que l'on pensait ? ...est ce au delà ? ... Est ce en deçà ? ... Ravis ? Déçu ? ...🤔🤔

[@albertsmyth9616]

I used to work in the Victoria Albert Museum and I love the story about the Sevres Egyptian (porcelain) Service that Napoleon commissioned, which was one of the largest and most costly services that Sevres ever produced and the V&A possesses some of it. Apparently, he commissioned it as a present for Josephine after he had divorced her. The service, which had dazzled Paris, was delivered to her and she was so angry at being forcibly divorced from him that she pointedly sent it back, citing that she didn’t like it. Bravo, Josephine!

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

I also understand there is a full display of this storied service in the basement of Apsley House. The Duke of Wellington took it as war booty. I hope to see it on my next visit.

[@albertsmyth9616]

@@JeanNewmanGlock That explains it because although English Heritage now administer Apsley House I can remember when the V&A used to administer it, so presumably they’ve now got an arrangement to borrow some of the pieces from Apsley House to display in the Museum’s Europe Galleries.

[@pilarantelo9555]

She was very spoiled by Napoléon.

[@albertsmyth9616]

@@pilarantelo9555 Well, yes. After he had divorced her he let her have Malmaison and she sort of got her revenge because there exist a lot of letters in archives from him to her when he was away on campaign, begging her to stop spending because she carried on spending millions on luxuries and ignored all his entreaties, filling Malmaison with every luxury she could get her hands on and sending his treasurer the bill, all against his wishes but ultimately he let her do it, so you’re right.

NOTE : John is wearing a Crown in a Pic of Him & " The Lady " or " Lady " in the middle ages meant Princess or Blood Royale

[@TysonGould-td2wh]

The French Royal Family . All the Prince's of France had a room at Versailles

[@christophedurante6212]

Malmaison was a kind of "gentilhommière".

[@JeanNewmanGlock]

I have not heard that term but love it. “Gentilhommière.”
