(Re)discover the history and personal and political life of an important Dijon personality from the revolutionary and Bonapartist periods, this Thursday, October 10: Théophile Berlier.
Deputy for Côte-d’Or, member of the Committee of Public Safety and president of the National Convention and the Council of Five Hundred during the revolutionary period, drafter of the civil code, made count of the empire and secretary general of the provisional government during the Hundred Days; the Dijonnais Théophile Berlier knew how, like Napoleon Bonaparte and Talleyrand, to cross regimes and political periods.
