This sitting room is one of the many ornate rooms inside Château de Malmaison in
Rueil-Malmaison, France. Malmaison was formerly the residence of Empress Joséphine
de Beauharnais, first wife of Napoleon I. It was the headquarters of the French government
from 1800 to 1802, and Napoleon's last residence in France at the end of the Hundred Days
in 1815. More photos from France are in my Cities, places gallery.
