On the morning of 3 July 1815, the French General R mi Joseph Isidore Exelmans, at the head of a brigade of dragoons, fired the last shots in the defence of Paris until the Franco-Prussian War sixty-five years later. Why did he do so? Traditional stories of 1815 end with Waterloo, that fateful day of 18 June, when Napoleon Bonaparte fought and lost his last battle, abdicating his throne on 22 June. So why was Exelmans still fighting for Paris? Surely the fighting had ended on 18 June? Not so. Waterloo was not the end, but the beginning of a new and untold story. Seldom studied in French histories and virtually ignored by English writers, the French Army fought on after Waterloo.
Very informative on a relatively unknown battle's and events post Waterloo.
Seldom studied in French history and ignored by English writers .The French Army fought on beyond Waterloo , At Versailles , Sevres , Rocquencourt and elsewhere , the French fought off the Prussian Army .
In the Alps and along the Rhine other French Armies fought off the Allies and General Rapp defeated the Austrians at La Souffel, the last Great battle of the Napoleonic wars .
The French had victory in their grasp until betrayed by Fouche and Marshall Davout.
The 100 Days War did not end at Waterloo it ended under the walls of Paris fifteen days later .
