And in the middle of that handsome octagonal square no less! And those buildings of Corinthian architecture that surround it? Absolutely lovely!<br /><br />As Peter tells us, this crowning glory of a monument was destroyed once, but the Republic under Adolphe Thiers repaired and replaced it to its original shape.<br />No doubt thanks to the influence of Talleyrand, the beloved mentor of his youth, Thiers was always sympathetic to the cause of Napoleon.<br /><br />Loved to learn about that "F II" detail of the column. Emperor Francis was widowed three times. Together with Caroline, his fourth and last wife, the Emperor lovingly brought up his daughter's son with Napoleon, that beautiful child nicknamed L'Aiglon.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this tour and for your fantastic photos.<br />Maria<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-31551605189288492322017-02-14T19:17:17.073+01:002017-02-14T19:17:17.073+01:00I love that part of the city!
