The official anthem of the first Empire

This is not really Britney Spears ...
The victory by singing
We opened the gate
Freedom guide our steps
North and south
The war trumpet
A wake-hour battle.
Tremble enemies of France,
Kings drunk with blood and pride.
The sovereign people advance:
Tyrants down the coffin.
The republic is calling us,
Let us let us conquer or perish;
A French must live for it,
The Helen [...]

At first glance, we are far from a reception room of the castle of Malmaison, in the beautiful Josephine.
The great hall consular dotted here, 400 years free of mud, cement, lime, hemp and other materials whose nature is unknown (and it's better that way) ...
In two weeks, the repair is completed.

Madame Recamier by Francois Gerard is the symbol.
This painting can first be regarded as a jewel of art consular. Then the painters rely on readily's academic heritage, but, simultaneously, in the wake of the famous David, they dare to modernity. Their touch is sometimes bolder and they include contemporary decorative elements, [...]

Next pageant, it's copied and pasted Mylène / Laurent Farmer / Boutonnat (false ambiance morning fog and camera shots to shovel ...).
Emma Bunton is, if not more manly, at least as sexy as miss Mylene F. Bercy Stade de France in St Denis de la Plaine de l'Ile de France near Paris.

In this hilarious vision of the Old Regime
For the song
For costumes
Push to the neckline of the woman
For swaying of powdered precious and gentlemen
For a French accent (I play the double game, I cry and say My God)
For kitsch assumed

In the mid-eighteenth century, the English army to the aid of thought from Frederick II of Prussia and she finds herself right in the kingdom of France with singer Stade de France! God that the military is naive ...

We thought the impossible feat but Gabriel Aghion succeeded: push the French cinema in an abysmal mediocrity more than the complete works of Claude Lelouch. The two men share the same capacity prolific (dissentrique?) To sabotage the work of their actors, are among the most talented. With the notable exception of Patricia Kaas [...]

The Silent Killer

Consulate of Boirie, we do not joke with security. Thus, carbon monoxide detectors were installed in several strategic locations of the consular palace.
The marketers of the brand Kidde detectors, moreover, high-quality, were a little loose on the packaging. It is not far [...]

While this vision of the last mistress of Louis XV, reviewed by MGM in 1943, may appear a little kitsch.
Note however that the very redhead Lucille Ball sings and dances, accompanied by Gene Kelly, compositions of Cole Porter!
Beautiful people ...

Beams in their eyes (but straws in reserve)

To be honest, I never had the opportunity to admire them, and asked state.
The oak beams in the ceilings of two large reception rooms of the consular palace are magnificent, and even in the rough. When the first wave of restoration, when the upgrading of floors had [...]

The feather and blood ...
A version passed relatively unnoticed (except for an Oscar) telling the repression of the Marquis de Sade has been because of his writings.
Considered a perverse author, literature has suffered from his personal reputation.
Enclosed by the Emperor Napoleon in an insane asylum, he suffered extreme censorship ... [...]

I just found this photo on my Blackberry lost.
In the middle of August, on a deserted road as hot as the splendid limousine consular accidentally fell out of gas.
The blow of the failure may possibly be funny at the condition of being two passengers (at least!).
There I was alone, dehydrated, with just [...]
