As the years unfold, future tours will visit Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, England, Elba and even St. Helena, as each in turn plays its part in the Napoleonic saga.

Because of our close personal relationship with historians and museum directors in Europe, we are often able to visit places that are closed to the public and to get "behind the scenes" looks at museum collections that are beyond the reach of the casual visitor. Recently, for example, our members were given private tours of Malmaison and Versailles; the latter was conducted by the Director General of the Museum, and included several magnificent Napoleonic rooms that are seen by fewer than a hundred visitors a year.

We are especially proud that for the past several years we have been one of the few organizations in the world selected for the honor of laying a wreath at the tomb of Napoleon on the anniversary of his death, and whenever the annual tour is in Europe this event is a highlight of our schedule.
