So say Nappy dies at a young age so he doesn't become king of the French, how do world events play out at the death of Louis Philippe who becomes king?????

Minor nitpick: Napoleon III was an Emperor, not a king.
If he's removed from the historical picture, Paris is going to be a lot less beautiful.

Butterflying Napoleon III doesn't mean you'll get someone more competent than him as the French President/King/Emperor depending on how 1848 goes. You could as well get someone worse than him and end up with a worse scenario for France.
All will depend who will replace Louis-Philippe as the head of state after the Revolution.
Would Plon-Plon have declared himself Emperor though? He may not make his cousins' 74%, but I'm pretty sure he can beat Cavaignac's 19% (more's the pity). But if only 37% of the electorate support him, say, is he confident enough to launch the coup? I doubt it. I bet he just legalises reelection and tries to stay President in 1852; perhaps he'll be able to restore the Empire later, perhaps not.
