First Treaty of Paris and Napoleon's exile to Elba

The treaty ending the war between France and the Sixth Coalition was signed on 30 May 1814, restoring French borders to their 1792 extent.

Signed following an armistice in April, the treaty confirmed France's borders as of 1 June 1792. It allowed France to retain specific territories like Saarbrücken and parts of Savoy while ceding colonies. This agreement, sometimes called the First Peace of Paris, was distinct from the 1815 treaty.
