Laffrey (French pronunciation: [lafʁɛ]) is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.

It stands at the top of the Rampe de Laffrey, which is known for a large number of deadly automobile accidents.

Napoleon passed through the village on 7 March 1815, during his return from Elba at the beginning of the Hundred Days.

At a site in Laffrey now known as the "field of the encounter" (prairie de la Rencontre), Napoleon and the handful of troops accompanying him were met by a battalion of soldiers of the royal 5th Regiment of the Line, who had come to arrest him.

[3] An equestrian statue of Napoleon by Emmanuel Frémiet, installed on the field in 1930, commemorates this event.
