Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., April 28, 2022

The first child of Napoleon I, Léon Bonaparte could have gone down in history… if everything he undertook did not end up going wrong.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of history", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach continues the story of the life of Léon Bonaparte, from defeat to defeat.

In his early twenties, Léon Bonaparte already had little left of the fortune his illustrious father Napoleon left him.

Frustrated at not being up to the emperor, he got into the bad habit of instigating duels for a yes or a no.

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts the second part of the debauched life of the eldest son of Napoleon I.
