In the eyes of a new generation of Parisians, Jerome Bonaparte is no longer just a person, but a symbol, a symbol representing the past glory of France.
Jerome Bonaparte has now tied his destiny with that of France, trying to prove to the people of Paris that the reappearance of the Empire on top of France is the will of all the French people.
To let the Parisians understand the "will" of the outer provinces, Jerome Bonaparte presented himself as "approachable" to the Parisians while tirelessly traveling through various French provinces seeking support.
In early October, Jerome Bonaparte set out for a tour of the eastern provinces of France, passing through strategic locations like Nancy and reaching the military station in Strasbourg.
