Description

He was Emperor of the French for longer than his uncle, Napoleon I, and arguably did as much to change the face of Europe.

But the bones of Napoleon III lie in a quiet corner of Hampshire rather than a Parisian shrine.  Who was this man who won and lost an empire and who created both Italy (intentionally) and Germany (by accident)?

This course will examine the achievements and legacy of a man whose story confirms the old saying that every political career ends in failure.

Residential Fees From: £376.   Non Residential: £252

Course runs from Dinner on Friday to Lunch on Sunday.
