The subject of our next episode made two coup attempts, was incarcerated and escaped by disguising himself as a mason, then came back to his country, was elected president and finally made another coup against his own regime to seize more power. Any guesses as to who I am referring to? #History #Fr

I was recently attacked in an email. Why? Because a year and a half ago, I recorded a podcast episode with Louis Sarkozy. We talked about Napoléon's readings. That’s it. bit.ly/3VWIlMd #HistoryPodcast #Napoleon #LouisSarkozy #FrenchHistory

In 1875 the new Opéra Garnier was inaugurated, apparently with a warmer welcome than Bizet's Carmen, which was first performed there that year. I'm having trouble imagining the street-smart tobacco-workers singing in all that bling... #FrenchPodcast #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/francemusiqu...

#OTD in 1815, Napoléon is acclaimed back in Paris. He enters the city unopposed and goes to the Tuileries palace to establish his new government. Louis XVIII had fled during the night. The “vol de l’aigle” was over. War would soon ensue though… #history #Napoleon More at: buff.ly/3XzZ08K

🚨New episode!🚨 Antoine Lavoisier - A Savant at the Scaffold. Join us as we delve into the remarkable but tragic life of Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry and one of history's most influential scientists. #history #France #science #podcast buff.ly/sJzK6I5

Historians are here to analyze the past. To understand the mechanisms and the ideas that took place and led to certain events. And then to write and talk about them. Historian Alain Ruscio does exactly that below. He reminds us of France’s many crimes in Algeria. #history youtu.be/tjIcj2wUlL8?...

#OTD in 1569, battle of Jarnac during the Third War of Religion in France. The Catholics defeat the Protestants and even kill one of their leaders, the Prince of Condé. Many more will die during these wars. For more, listen to our episode: buff.ly/BsTnV32

Next week on the podcast, Antoine Lavoisier - A Savant at the Scaffold. Stay tuned! #science

#OTD in 1785 Thomas Jefferson succeeds Benjamin Franklin as United States ambassador to France. Later, as President, he will negotiate with Napoléon the Louisiana Purchase. An apocryphal quote of his states: “Every man has two countries – his own and France.” #potus #france #usa

We have tripled our followers since October! 🤯 Over 1,500 people now. Thank you all!

#OTD in 1796, Republican marriage between Napoléon Bonaparte and Josephine de Beauharnais at the Hôtel de Mondragon. Napoléon, who arrived late, yelled "marry us quickly!" Fun fact, they both lied on their age to reduce their 6 year age difference to a mere 18 months.

On International Women's Day, I would like to remember the critical role that women played in French history, often without receiving proper credit. From medieval queens who played a vital role in the French kingdom’s politics to savant women who heralded knowledge and science. #IWD

Just recorded 2 brilliant episodes with our old friend Charles Mackay. One episode on General Friant and another on General Morand, 2 of Marshal Davout’s divisional commanders. Please give Charles a follow: @bubblesvampire.bsky.social - thanks! 🙏🏻 #davout

#OTD in 1429, Jeanne d’Arc meets the Dauphin Charles at Chinon. To verify if there was any basis to her claims of hearing voices asking her to save France by putting Charles on the throne, Jeanne is invited to see him at his court. More at: buff.ly/3BGRDoM

#OTD in 1796 the Directory names Napoléon Bonaparte commander of the Army of Italy. A week later, he marries Joséphine de Beauharnais “quickly” (his word) and leaves for the front. When Napoléon arrives in Italy, he finds a French army in tatters. More at: buff.ly/3Ubw06f

As a Franco-Canadian, I cannot recommend this episode enough. Canada’s military and diplomatic roles during the last century are totally misunderstood, even here. Canada didn’t become a nation only by being nice, but also by being strong and loyal. And get that book by David Borys! 👇

#OTD in 1533, birth of Michel de Montaigne, one of the most influential thinkers of the XVIth century. His most remarkable work, the “Essais”, has informed many writers and philosophers to this day. Montaigne wrote a remarkable oeuvre here, centred on himself and his impressions.

#OTD in 1815, Napoléon escapes Elba on board of the Inconstant. He’ll land at Golfe-Juan on March 1st, eventually triggering the period known as the Hundred Days. It will lead to the Seventh Coalition, Waterloo and ultimately the exile on St-Helena. More: https://bit.ly/3WtIw19 #Napoleon #history

#OTD in 1916, beginning of the battle of Verdun. This horrific clash symbolizes the human catastrophe that was WWI. The French will eventually prevail, after both sides suffered over 700,000 casualties. Learn more about WWI in France at: https://buff.ly/3Z1rpGJ #history #war #WWI #Verdun

A pretty ridiculous coin to find in the middle of the woods in Maine by what used to be a road. This token was struck to commemorate the preliminaries of peace between Britain and France before the Treaty of Amiens in March 1802. Two months later, Napoleon reinstated slavery in the French colonies.

Yesterday, I have deleted the podcast’s X account. Although I’d stopped using it last Summer, I think anybody with a conscience should delete their X account. This podcast is apolitical, but even just having an account on what is effectively a fascist propaganda machine was intolerable anymore.
