Je me pose la question de savoir si de l'autre côté de l'Océan, la France est aussi bien représentée. Bon je sais il y a Lafayetteville et Parisville.claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356955828590617751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-64574326376933117162018-09-27T14:02:57.254+02:002018-09-27T14:02:57.254+02:00This is a great post.

Thank yo...Great post and great neighborhood, Peter! Thank you!<br /><br />P.S.<br />A letter of General Lafayette to General Washington:<br /><br />Elected to the Estates-General in 1789, Lafayette soon acquired prominence as the commander of the Paris National Guard when the Bastille fell on July 14, 1789.<br />After ordering the destruction of the Bastille, Lafayette wrote to Washington: "Give me leave, my dear General, to present you with a picture of the Bastille just as it looked a few days after I had ordered its demolition, with the main key of that fortress of despotism. It is a tribute which I owe as a son to my adoptive father, as an aide de camp to my General, as a missionary of liberty to its patriarch."<br /><br />Picture of the Batille's main key:<br /><br />https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/bastille-key/<br /><br />General Washington and his dogs:<br /><br />https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/biography/washington-stories/solider-statesman-dog-lover-george-washingtons-pups/Maria Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932126681237937406noreply@blogger.com
