Jules Dumont d’Urville – Part 1 – Early life and the Venus de Milo

In part 1 of our series, we look at d’Urville’s early life, including his journey into the French Navy during the Napoleonic era. We then look at his first scientific expedition about the Chevrette – which will include a journey to the Greek island of Milos. There, d’Urville will play a key part in the acquisition of the famed Venus de Milo for France.
