The year 2021 is marked by the commemoration of the bicentennial of Emperor Napoleon I\u2019s death on the island of Saint Helena on 5 May 1821 at the age of 51. You thought you knew everything about this historic figure, but did you know that Napoleon came through Anderlecht? He came through \u2013 but did not stop \u2013 on his way to Brussels. That was in 1810. The municipal archives have an unprecedented, original document that proves this trivial, unknown, but historical fact. It is this summer\u2019s \u201cunusual object\u201d. Let\u2019s take a closer look\u2026[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
