Napoleon's encounter with Marshal Ney From the Napoléon mini series in english.

On February 26, 1815, Napoleon managed to sneak past his guards, escape from Elba, slip past interception by a British ship, and return to France. Immediately, people and troops began to rally to the returned Great Emperor.

Marshal Ney joined Napoleon with 6,000 men. Five days later, after proceeding through the countryside promising constitutional reform and direct elections to an assembly, to the acclaim of gathered crowds the Emperor triumphantly entered the capital, whence Louis XVIII had recently fled.
