At the Congress of Vienna the Powers awarded to her and her son the duchies of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, in conformity with the terms of the treaty of Fontainebleau (March, 1814); in spite of the determined opposition of Louis XVIII.
Her rule in Parma, conjointly with Neipperg, was characterized by a clemency and moderation which were lacking in the other Italian states in that time of reaction.
During the popular movements of 1831 Marie Louise had to take refuge with the Austrian garrison at Piacenza; on the restoration of her rule by the Austrians its character deteriorated, Parma becoming an outwork of the Austrian empire.

 Esplorando l'Italia - Features - Parma
Parma is also known for its perfume stores and it will be difficult to by-pass the purchase of a small bottle of Violette di Parma, a lavender perfume still manufactured to honour Marie-Louise.
The Duchess was so notoriously fond of Parma violets they became the symbol of her rule and she often signed official documents with the flower next to her name.
Parma is not well known for its nightlife, because the locals tend to prefer long sessions in the many excellent restaurants, or head for the theatre or opera.

Marie Louise had been brought up, as all German girls of rank were then brought up, in quiet simplicity and utter innocence.
Marie Louise listened to all this, and, like the obedient German girl she was, yielded her own will.
She was made Duchess of Parma in Italy, and set out for her new possessions; and the man with the fl band across his sightless eye was chosen to be her escort and companion.

The Duchy of Parma was detached by the Emperor Charles V from Milan to be added to the Papal States, but Pope Paul III (1534-1549), Paolo Farnese, used it for his illegitimate son, Pier Luigi, instead.
The tenure of the Farnese family in Parma continued until the hieress, Elizabeth Farnese, married King Philip V of Spain.
In 1814, the Congress of Vienna gave Parma to the widow of Napoleon, Marie Louise of Austria, who, we might think, really had something coming for having endured the marriage to Napoleon: When he asked her to join him on Elba, or return to France during the 100 days, she declined.

GONTAUT, MARIE JOSEPHINE LOUISE, DUCHESSE DE (1773-1857), was born in Paris on the 3rd of August 1773, daughter of Augustin Francois, comte de Montaut-Navailles, who had been governor of Louis XVI.
Madame de Gontaut became lady-in-waiting to Caroline, duchess of Berry, and, on the birth of the princess Louise (Mile dArtois, afterwards duchess of Parma), governess to the children of France.
She herself wrote in her old age some naive memoirs, which throw an odd light on the pretensions of the governess of the children of France.
