What would happen if after the 100 days, if Napoleon escaped to the Duchy of Parama where his Wife was ruler.

Would the Coalition invade Parama to capture Napoleon or would he be left there as Duke?

Would Napoleon use Parma for another action to take over France?
 
He'd still be seen as too dangerous to be on Europe - if keeping him on Elba was not enough, how would the Congress order be kept if the man who forced its development was on mainland Europe?

So would he just be driven out and sent to St.Helena like OTL?

It would be interested to have another "Waterloo", although i dont think Parama would have much in the way of military

Pretty much. Don't forget that by that time Marie-Louise was already very cosy with the man who would later be her 2nd husband. Furthermore N Italy at that time was dominated by Austria who would not welcome Boney having any bolt-hole, let alone one near their territory.

It's pretty much impossible after the Hundred Days. He was seen as too much of a liability, even before that; one of the reasons he decided to MacGuyver his way out of Elba was that he heard rumours of a plot among the victorious allies to ship him out to the mid-Atlantic anyway.
And as said, there's no real guarantee that Marie Louise would take him back. Especially under Austrian supervision; even her son from Napoleon wasn't safe.

Nah, your best bet for a Napoleon living as a free man is if he escaped to the United States, which he considered doing after Waterloo. Rather than seeking asylum aboard the Bellerophon and becoming a prisoner.
