Focus on Prince Imperial Memorial and explore the Later history.
On the centenary of the Prince Imperial's death in 1979, the French Ambassador to South Africa visited the memorial and a commemorative plaque was installed at the site. In 1996, KwaZulu-Natal promoted the route to the memorial that Empress Eugénie took as La Route du Prince Impérial, Louis Napoléon. In 2006, an interpretive wall was built nearby as part of the memorial site, funded by a Frenchman from Réunion. Traditionally on the Sunday closest to 1 June, French people and Zulus meet together at the site to commemorate the Prince.
