>> Napoléon, se voyant regardé avec une certaine curiosité par ce vieillard, se retourna, et dit brusquement:
"Quel est ce bonhomme qui me regarde?"
"Sire, dit M. Myriel, vous regardez un bonhomme, et moi je regarde un grand homme. Chacun de nous peut profiter."

"Sire," said Monsieur Myriel, "you are looking at a good man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us can enjoy"

If this was enough to please #Napolean, imagine what it would do to #Trump.

“The new study examined DNA from the teeth of 13 French soldiers buried during the retreat in a mass grave in Vilnius, Lithuania. (The grave was discovered during construction in 2001.)” #DNA #ISOGG #Napolean #French #geneadons

My PR people insist I get in front of this right away:

No, it was *not* I who broke into the Louvre earier today in Paris and (reportedly) stole Napolean's crown jewels.

I was sleeping at the time. Admittedly I did *dream* about it, though.

Quite vividly.

Quite.

Still dreaming about it. Vividly.

This is the most frightening #ExecutiveOrder yet. #Napolean is in the house.

Finally saw Ridley Scott’s #Napolean. While I rarely agree with others’ reviews of movies, I largely agree with others on this one. Maybe it tried to cover too much. Maybe it should have been a multi-season series.

I’ve seen documentaries where I could feel the extreme danger he had put himself and his men into during the invasion of Russia. I felt none of that danger here, snd I felt they needed to move on to finish in under three hours.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page was more entertaining and had better writing.

I wonder what the French think?

Taking Napoleon an important historical figure and having him played by an American with an English accent… #Napolean #Movie

@smlx4 Not sure ##Irish #Italians can't be called out:for observing the complete absence of #Cannolis and #Napoleans here. Itza complex ethnologic issue. Proximity matters. How far is dominance in #Pastry relevant ? What are the #ICBMs of pastry in terms of range ? Can a Cannoli go farther than a #Napolean ? Are the #French in the game...or might #LinzerTorte 's outperform them all ?

During the #FrenchRevolution, the #French #Poet & #Politician Fabre d'#Églantine created the new French Republican #Calendar.

He renamed the #Months to reflect #Nature & #Celebrate #Agriculture.

The Autumn months were #Vendémiaire (Grape Harvest), #Brumaire (Mist), & #Frimaire (Frost) - from Nov 21 to Dec 20.

In the #Spring of 1794, Fabre 'Eglantine & 14 others were #Gguillotined in #Paris. #France kept w/ the new calendar until #Napolean reverted to the old system in 1805.
