The
Treaty of Paris, signed on 30 May 1814, ended the war between
France and the
Sixth Coalition, part of the
Napoleonic Wars, following an armistice signed on 23 April between
Charles, Count of Artois, and the allies. It established peace between France and the
United Kingdom,
Russia,
Austria, and
Prussia, who
in March had defined their common war aim in Chaumont, and was also signed by
Portugal and
Sweden.
Spain signed later in July. Peace talks had started on 9 May between
Talleyrand, who negotiated for the exiled
Bourbon king
Louis XVIII of France, and the allies of Chaumont, who had agreed to reduce France to her 1792 borders and restore the independence of her neighbors after
Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat. The allied parties did not sign a common document, but instead concluded separate treaties with France allowing for specific amendments.
