I would like to point out that correct title of Napoleon the Great was "Emperor of the French" and not "Emperor of France".
He wasn't the only Emperor to rule the French but the first one.
The second and last one was his nephew and heir Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (1808-1873). After a coup d'état he become Napoleon III Emperor of the French, from 1852 to 1870.
