A copy of the French Civil Code belonging to Napoleon was sold in Paris.

A copy of the Civil Code, previously owned by French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, was sold at auction for €395,000. This was announced on March 6 by the Tajan auction house.

It is specified that Napoleon left this copy in the castle of Saint-Cloud, after he was exiled to the island of Elba in 1814. After that, the documents were owned by the family of one of the emperor's assistants and followers, Etienne Charvet, who was the castle's manager.

"Since the fall of the First Empire, the codex has been kept in the same family," the auction house said on its website.
