First Restoration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The First Restoration, or Première Restauration in French, refers to Louis XVIII of France's accession to the throne after Napoleon's exile to Elba. It lasted from 6 April 1814 to 20 March 1815, on which day Napoleon arrived back in Paris.

He was speedily defeated, and Louis XVIII was restored in the longer-lived Second Restoration.
