Just Napoleon and me

Bonjour from a rainy SW France,

You do not get much more French than Napoleon Bonaparte and today I am surrounded by him. He is everywhere I look and for a small man he had a mighty presence.

We have a few Napoleon objects listed in our online shop and we have even more in French Boyfriends boutique which will be reopening on the 11th of May after being closed for 2 months due to the corona virus restrictions in France.

Note for those of you that are fans of Napoleon there is a museum that is run by one of his descendants and is situated an hour and a half's drive from us and we learnt a lot about the life of this fabulous Frenchman.

Here are some quotes from Napoleon Bonaparte....

An army marches on its stomach.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Ability is nothing without opportunity.

What is history but a fable agreed upon?

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

Imagination rules the world.

My favourite is his quote about imagination, what is yours?
