Personally reserving there a space for his grave, he ordered the restoration of the edifice which had been desecrated by the revolutionists. While providing burial places for himself and his marshals, he took thought at the same time of the mortuary needs of all the people of Paris outside the city and directed the opening of four cemeteries such as he had seen in Germany.
