A bit of history
After being forced to abdicate on April 6, 1814, Napoléon Bonaparte was exiled to the island of Elba. From that point on, he had only one objective: to escape and overthrow the monarchy of Louis XVIII.
On February 26, 1815, Napoléon left Elba and landed at the coastal town of Golfe-Juan days later, on March 1, accompanied by two to three thousand men.
To avoid the royalist troops stationed in Basse-Provence, he decided to travel to Grenoble via an inland route.
