Louis-Napoleon finally announced that he found the right woman: a Spaniard called Eugénie du Derje de Montijo, age 23, 20th Countess of Teba and 15th Marchioness of Ardales. She received much of her education in Paris. Her beauty attracted Louis-Napoleon, who, as was his custom, tried to seduce her, but Eugénie told him to wait for marriage. The civil ceremony took place at Tuileries Palace on 22 January 1853, and a much grander ceremony was held a few days later at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. In 1856, Eugénie gave birth to a son and heir-apparent, Napoléon, Prince Imperial.
