Maison d’Education
Napoleon I was ever mindful of the spirit of the Legion of Honor. Whether he was bivouacking during a campaign or at the Tuileries and Saint-Cloud, he was always concerned with the smallest details of the Order and the interests of its members.
Already in 1805 before joining the army to begin the famous campaign that would terminate with the victory at Austerlitz, he had thought of the daughters of Legionnaires and instructed the Council of State to draw up plans for the establishment of three "houses of education" for the education of such girls.
The plan was finalized by the Decree of December 15, 1804, signed at the Palace of Schönbrünn.
