In Rome, Monaco, S. France

The next three museums are smaller, and quite far from Paris, but they are each splendid. For the Napoleonic buff, these sites alone would justify a trip to Rome, the south of France, and to Monaco.
There is a Napoleonic family connection to the Grimaldi family, and Prince Louis was able to put together a formidable collection. The collection has many Bonaparte family items, including a gold snuff box given to Napoleon by Josephine, the Christening slippers and various toys of the King of Rome, and articles of Napoleon's clothing. There is a nice collection of snuff boxes, as well as items belonging to Czar Alexander II of Russia. This fine museum is yet another good reason to attend the Napoleonic Congress to be held in Monaco in July of 1996. Museums:
