NAPOLEON MUSEUM
Go there and contact
A museum open to the family history and the historical dimension of a statesman who has left his mark on our lives.
The Musée Napoléon invites you into the heart of imperial history. Owned by Baudoin de Witt, a descendant of the Bonaparte family, this family manor houses an impressive collection of over 500 objects, paintings and sculptures, as well as dioramas retracing Napoleonic battles with thousands of lead figurines. Guided tours, rich in anecdotes, enhance this unique experience. You can extend your immersion by staying in the estate's Gîtes de France, housed in the former wine storehouse and farmhouse.

Owner's Message
Historical reminder:
Napoleon I and Napoleon III each had an only son, but both died young, without descendants.
These two branches extinguished, it is the line of the last brother of Napoleon I,Jerome King of Westphalia, which becomes the only dynastic branch.
Thus his grandson, Prince Victor-Napoleon Bonaparte, assembled and catalogued an exceptional collection of family objects tracing the history of the two empires.
At his death in 1926, a foundation between his two children gathered these objects.
arrival in Périgord:
In 1949, his daughter, Princess Marie-Clotilde, married to Count de Witt, settled in La Pommerie, in Périgord.
An important part of the collection was transmitted to the State in 1976 by Prince Napoleon and Countess de Witt. In 1998, Count Baudoin de Witt received the classification of more than 150 objects by the Caisse des Monuments Historiques.
In 1999, with his wife Isabelle, they decided to open their manor house of La Pommerie to the public in order to present in the intimate setting of their home, a collection that had been unknown until then.
Visits are assured every afternoon:
However, we advise you to reserve in order to organize the groups of visitors in the respect of the current sanitary conditions.
