Château de Malmaison has been home to Josephine Bonaparte, the Empress of France. She lived there, on and off, for 15 years. The Château is beautifully restored and shows Napoleon’s rooms as well as Josephine’s rooms. The second floor shows a collection of the Empress’s wardrobe and many household things. Her coronation dress is there as well. The intimacy of the museum is extraordinary. It is about 15 km from Paris.

I am a storyteller. True or not this is my story,
