On becoming emperor, Napoleon III attracted several members of the Bonaparte family to France and to his Court (soon to become one of the most glittering in Europe). Two of his cousins, Princess Mathilde (daughter of Jerome) and Princess Julie (daughter of Charles-Lucien, grand-daughter of Lucien and of Joseph), both highly cultivated and formidable characters, held salons frequented not only by ministers, civil servants, artists, academics and men and women of letters but also those who eschewed political life. Close as they were to the seat of power, these two ladies were able to provide their friends with openings to positions, places of influence and decorations. Nor did the emperor fear the independence of his cousins but rather used their freedom to sound out opinion in the milieus opposed to his regime. This article considers the makeup and role of these Second-Empire salons.
