Napoleon and his Marshals

Napoleon Bonaparte's marshals were the men he relied upon to lead his armies. All had talents, were courageous and many were heroes. Some rivalled Bonaparte himself.

Bernadotte is my favourite, I've been told I look a bit like Murat when I grow out my facial hair.

Marshals of the First French Empire buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery

Yesterday was the anniversary of the opening of the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris in 1804. @captainknell mentioned that they’re interested in seeing the tombs of the Marshals who are buried there and I realized that I actually have some pics of them. These are not all the Napoleonic figures buried there; not even close! There are actually quite a few notable figures buried at this cemetery.

I had another weird dream. My kids were on a field trip in a city. My mom and I were chaperoning and my aunt got off the subway with a weird contraption on her head. It was an old fashioned manual mixer and as she was cranking it, 3 different flavors of ice cream (in perfectly round scoops) were coming out of it. My mom got mad lol. We all went in the basement of a building and there was a crypt. There was an inscription on this one block in the floor explaining that a demon from the Napoleonic wars was trapped inside and that two marshals, Suchet and Lefebvre, were trapped with him to keep it at bay. If you opened it, you had to read a spell to hold it back. I was like, "This isn't right, there's no way those marshals could still be alive in there. It's 1910!" (??) One of the mom's stepped forward and started doing a weird chant and we opened the slab. 3 marshals rose out but one was just the demon in disguise. The spell worked and the demon was still trapped and the Suchet and Lefebvre turned to dust and blew away.

Why do I keep dreaming about random marshals and ghosts and stuff? 😳
