It’s quite possibly one of the world’s greatest love stories which begins in the little town of St. Pierre, Martinique, the birthplace of Josephine. After travelling to France with her father, she would marry Beauharnais, but he was executed under the reign of terror. Josephine found herself imprisoned and was lucky to escape with her life. At this point, she would meet a young military man Bonaparte clearly on the way up, and a romance began that would lead to marriage and a lifelong passionate love between the two.
