The Treaty of Paris of 1814 was signed between France and the Sixth Coalition, made up of Austria, Russia, Britain and Prussia, after Napoleon's abdication and the restoration of the Bourbon king Louis XVIII. It reduced France to roughly its borders of 1792, with a few additions, and imposed no war indemnity, and France was allowed to keep the art treasures that Napoleon had looted. Napoleon himself was exiled to the island of Elba. The treaty arranged for the Congress of Vienna to settle the wider European order. After Napoleon's return in the Hundred Days and his defeat at Waterloo, a second and harsher Treaty of Paris was concluded in November 1815.
