NO. Napoleon was buried on the island of Saint Helena, the site of his second exile, in the Valley of the Willows in 1821. However, 1840, King Louis Philippe I obtained permission from the British to return Napoleon's remains to France. On 15 December 1840, Napoleon's body was brought to Les Invalides, its current resting place in Paris, by a state procession.

He was exiled to Elba in 1814 only; that is the only interaction he had with the island.
