Marmont E2
During the Restoration, Marmont focused on improving Châtillon-sur-Seine, which still reflects his urban projects. Exiled and ruined, he died in Venice in 1852. His body was returned to Châtillon and buried in the Saint-Vorles Cemetery. He donated his medals and honors to the town as a final tribute.

Le maréchal, fier et sûr de sa posture, est paré de ses plus belles médailles et distinctions : Il arbore son écharpe rouge de Grand Aigle de la Légion d’Honneur. Sa main droite, elle, tend son bâton de Maréchal d’Empire.
