The story
First established in the year 1937 by Eugénie Gal, a great-great-niece of Marshal Suchet, the Souvenir napoléonien was recognized as a benevolent association by a French decree dated 5 November 1982.
The society studies and makes known the history of the First and Second French Empires, from the time of the French Revolution, the imperial family, and the institutions, places, and people who were part of this history. For this purpose, it organizes a wide variety of events, such as conferences, seminars, study visits, and commemorations, at the international, national and regional levels, both in France and abroad.
The society works closely with the Fondation Napoléon, from which it receives financial support for the publication of its magazine, the Revue du souvenir napoléonien.
