Eat, Drink & Think Like... Napoleon III - Stephane Kirkland, Yvette van Boven

Napoleon III—France’s first president and last monarch—was elected by popular vote, and crowned himself emperor in 1851.

Learn about this brilliant, deeply flawed man, his extraordinary plans and the food culture of the time, then enjoy a taste of 19th century Paris.
