QuoteShe travelled a fascinating and long way, Marie- Joseph Rose de Tascher de la Pagerie, better known as Josephine de Beauharnais, or Empress Josephine, the first wife of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

Born on a simple plantation in Martinique, ending up in the beautiful Chateau de Malmaison as the ex-wife of Emperor Napoleon.

Born in 1763 on a simple sugar cane plantation Marie Rose had a happy childhood. Playing barefoot with the slave children and sucking on a stalk of sugar cane she was destined for a simple life and she received little education. However, her charm and beauty (except for her teeth which were blackened by the sugar) took here to places beyond she and her family would have ever suspected.

Josephine spent many hours at her writing table, dealing with a voluminous correspondence with her children and friends. She wrote to nurserymen about plants for her garden at Malmaison.

Napoleon had thought it as well not to inform his mother Letizia of his marriage to the Widow Beauharnais until after it had taken place. Letizia did not approve of the marriage.

Josephine wrote to Napoleon asking to be allowed to return to Malmaison, a move which she had hoped Empress Marie Louise had opposed on the grounds that it was too near Paris. Napoleon gave his consent.

After her divorce, Josephine would be able to retain her rank as Empress. All her debts would be settled and she would receive an allowance of three million francs a year. She could assume the additional title of Duchess of Navarre.

When Josephine was at the Baroque palace at Mombello, she was able to indulge her passion for flowers. These were planted under her direction all over the gardens.
