Malmaison was the private residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Joséphine. Located 30 minutes from Paris, this “countryside” has retained its intimate atmosphere and its authentic character.
In 1809 Joséphine extended her estate of Malmaison by buying Bois-Préau, which came with seventeen hectares of land. Joséphine housed several of her staff here, such as her doctor and her intendant, and made use of the space to store the overflow from the library at Malmaison (7,500 volumes), fitting out a room for the estate’s archives and storing part of her natural history collection.
Unlike official residences Malmaison remained an intimate home renowned for the beauty of its gardens and the several hundreds of rare species of plants that were introduced here, until the death of Joséphine in 1814.
