OOC: The Napoleonic Askblog/Roleplay Scene Directory

Here's an Out Of Character post listing the blogs I'm aware of in the Napoleonic RPF Roleplay Scene! It's OOC because Lannes would want to make sarcastic remarks with typos.

If you want (or don't want) your blog on this list, message me and whether you want a main/other blog associated with your name or whether you want to be anonymised! Also happy to include non-Frenchmen and Frev folks.

Doubles or multiple versions of people are welcome, this is a varied afterlife. We all have our different ideas for what this afterlife is like as well.

Feel free to reblog or link to this!

Letter from Junot to Mystery Lady (1812)

This is the third letter from a pack of mail sent off by general Andoche Junot and intercepted by the Russian army during October 1812. I have already translated two others related to this one (Laure Junot to her husband and Junot to Laure I). This now is a letter from Junot to his (former?) mistress (whose existence most likely was the cause of the rather harsh letter Laure had written to him from Aix). As already mentioned, all these letters are taken from a volume "Lettres interceptées par les Russes", edited and published by Frédéric Masson in 1913, and while Masson does kind of respect the incognito of the lady in question (possibly due to her family still being around and influential at the time of the publication?), he does offer plenty of clues to figure out her proper identity.

Also interesting: Laure Junot in her memoirs mentions that Junot did not like his extremely rare first name and sometimes called himself "Alexandre" instead. This would be an example. While the envelope clearly indicates that the letter comes from Junot (carrying the initials A.J. and a ducal crown for "Duke of Abrantès"), the signature says "Alexandre".

Alexandre to baroness L..e de F.., at Montigny Mojaisk, 13 October 1812 I was going to write to you this morning when Papa stopped by for breakfast. He arrived here yesterday from Wiasma with his son, who is still a bit ill and on his way to Moscow. He told me that he didn't receive any letters from you, that he wrote to you, but that he didn't receive anything. I wanted to tell him that he should put his letters in yours, but then I thought that maybe he didn't like having his letters bundled in that way. I was delighted to get to know this hussar that you love so much, when I learnt that it wasn't him; he's an officer too, I don't know if you know, he's in the second regiment of chasseurs à cheval. I found Papa in good health, I had a good breakfast prepared for him and together we visited some of the wounded generals returning from Moscow, some of whom are on their way back to Paris. Nansouty had a small bullet in the knee, he walks with crutches to make people pity him and is going to take the waters of Tivoli for his recovery. Enough about war, I want to tell you now, my darling L..e, that I love you more and more, that I am bored to death, that I want nothing more in the world than to see you again, that I live in the most despicable country in the world, that I will die of grief if I don't go to you soon, and that I will die of hunger if I stay here. Are you still very angry with my portrait? Is it really true that you didn't kiss it and closed your eyes with your thumb? Ah, tell me the truth, it would be a truly heroic trait to keep such a strong and resentful anger. Love is unforgiving, you don't have beautiful eyes, well, too bad for you, you won't be kissed, poor Alexandre, if your eyes were going to look like those in your portrait when you come back! Go away, you evil presentiment, let me believe that I shall always be the same for my L..e. We talked a little about the ladies of Montigny on the subject of painting; I did justice to the grace and lightness of the pretty landscapes that bonne amie does so well and, L..e, L..e draws marvellously, yes I said, but when she copies a painting, she always finds something to correct. "She's got a head", one said. "Full of wit and genius", I replied, and that was the end of the conversation. Will you be spending the bad season in Montigny? I hope not, there is nothing so contrary to virtue as boredom; come back to Paris, enjoy yourself and don't have time to find similarities; don't get me wrong, L..e, you could say 'He looked like you', but I wouldn't listen to reason, I'm telling you in cold blood, I would kill you. Oh, my God! What would become of me if I had killed my L..e. I would do as the handsome Dunois did when he so clumsily bedded the beautiful Dorothée. I would quickly withdraw my sword, and I would fall on it pierced through and through. But it's better to be close to L..e in good health, to love her, to tell her that, to hear that she loves too, and to steal that charming word from her rose lips. Adieu, my darling angel, to tell you a thousand times that I love you is to repeat a thousand times the only sensible thing I have. It does not matter, that word is delicious and I'll say it a thousand times over, with a kiss every time. A thousand as pretty things to bonne amie, who I hope is in good health, and a little kiss to Blanche. Farewell, love for life. Alexandre

Oookay. That was … intense, for sure.

Assuming that this letter is real and not part of yet another prank, it makes me think Junot had managed to get himself in hot water with both ladies involved in the lettre de Bourgogne affair. At least he seems to think his mistress was mad at him? Or really only at his painting? And the suggestion that he might kill the lady in question, if this lady felt so bored during the winter season that she would look for somebody who resembled Junot enough for her to take him as a replacement … well, even if it’s only a rhetorical phrase, it does not sit well with me. (The emphasis on "kill" is in the original letter, by the way.)

So, who was the recipient of that letter? Frédéric Masson in a footnote even gives her name – her maiden name, that is: Elisabeth-Augusta Daniels, called "Lise" (hence the "L..e" in the letter). And the "Papa" mentioned to have had breakfast with Junot is explained to be her father, or rather her stepfather: Lise’s mother, from the region of Mainz, had divorced Lise’s father and married French general Baraguey d’Hilliers. Lise’s beloved hussar whom Junot at first believed to have encountered would have been her brother Joseph Karl Wilhelm Daniels, when in truth the young man in the company of general Baraguey d’Hillier was Achilles Baraguey d’Hillier.

I’m kind of relieved to see contemporaries were as confused about family relations as I tend to be on reading about them.

So, who was Lise in turn married to? As can nowadays be found out with a brief online search, her husband was a certain general Maximilien Foy, one of the best generals in Spain, according to most historians, and acclaimed author of a book on the Peninsular war himself. I can only assume that this identification was not as easy for the general public in 1913, when Masson published the letters, but easy enough for historians. Otherwise, Masson going to great length to hide her name while hinting at her true identity would not make much sense.

On a fun note: "Tivoli" is a name usually given to entertainment parks. So when Junot suggests that Nansouty was going home to take "the waters of Tivoli", he probably means that Nansouty was just trying to get into a nicer environment.

Home-Made is a minimal house located in Bordeaux, France, designed by A6A. The house is located between the Saint-Jean station and Place Nansouty districts, on a quiet street surrounded by low-rise buildings. The lush vegetation of the heart of the block gives the house a tropical feel during the summer months.

Maison ivre

Le lieu où j’habite, je vous le dis pour quand vous viendrez, s’appelle  La (Maison (l(i(v(r(e)))))). C’est à Nansouty, NY village ont décidé certains, coin de Bordeaux où je vis depuis vingt-et-un ans. À deux pas de la place structurant le quartier, une cave, la C.U.V, et dans cette cuve un homme précieux. Banquier repenti, esprit vif et ouvert, connaisseur en vin vivant, Quentin Blondel est imbattable dans l’art subtil d’associer plats et vins. De rabonnir mes dîners.

Ici, au Port de  Macau, achevant une boîte de sardines sur un bout de pain noir, je pense à toi Quentin : sûr que tu aurais trouvé la bonne quille pour sublimer mon modeste casse-dalle ! À défaut, ce sera de l’eau. Le maronnier en fleur qui me prête son ombre me rappelle les beignets d’accacia préparés hier soir par Pauline... À défaut ce sera une barre de graines. Puis, guidé par l’onde de marée, la lune donc, qui vient de se renverser, la fin de la pause.

Quelque kilomètres encore : passés les dernière vignes, les plantations fortement irriguées, le pont suspendu, l’animation des quais, je serai chez moi. Pour deux soirs. Quelques centaines de mètres encore : j’arriverai chez mon caviste. Est-il si urgent de rédimer mon déjeuner avec telle ou telle pépite biodynamique ? Je n’en suis pas à cette extrémité. Non, cette fois, il s’agit  de venir en rhapsode. De jouer la performance pour le choeur des bouteilles. Quentin m’ayant beaucoup aidé, avec quelques-uns de mes bons amis, Blandine, Ludo, Bruno... à définir mon itinéraire, à contacter vigneronnes et rons en potentielle sympathie  avec mon voyage orphéo-bacchique, il m’a  semblé indiqué de lui proposer d’escaler dans sa boutique.

J’y suis. Attelage stationné devant la vitrine. Public et artiste derrière. Tous ont un verre de Chante Pinot. à la main : pet’ nat’ joyeusement jaune et floral et moussant des soeurs Jossmeyer, en Alsace. Quarante minutes plus tard, le constat sera simple et partagé : l’accord s’est produit. L’ébriété a eu lieu.

[It happens after Wagram I believe]

Napoléon - Damn it! Where was your cavalry at the moment of the attack ?!

Nansouty - It isn’t Your Majesty who will teach me how to handle cavalry.

And then Nansouty just left.

Permanent Optic Art Installation

Materials : High Density Phosphorescent rope

For Amédée, Bordeaux, France

-

dimension :

H.1000 x l.12000 x L. 880 cm

Colors : Phosphorescent light green.

Island enclosed between city and train station. The "window" is an imaginary perspective framing the railway complex blindly. In this invisible perspective, a present resonance exists between the saturated urban pattern of the Nansouty district & the leaking infrastructures of the Saint Jean station.This frame, reveals its importance to give birth to a work allowing a setting in echo of such a situation.

    Taking into account the historical and urban context of the district: the immediate proximity of the station and its uses, the work will have to be born from this heritage and evoke the notions of frames and superimpositions that evoke a railway station, to allow a graphic and evocative reading while freeing itself from the codes of the station to maximize the polysemic allusions. The work will also have to allow an appreciation of the greatest number without immediately relaying to the image of railroads. The installation shows a weaving of 130 soft green phosphorescent ropes, this network of ropes that splits echoes the railway lines as well as the 260 train departures that the station offers every day. The flexible system, moored at the periphery of the window, like a frame, is stretched obliquely to create a phenomenon of crossings to amplify a new perspective. Each string is tightened by tension in the center to create a disk, a denser object that proposes a second visual breakthrough, becoming a new dynamic. In order to accentuate a phenomenon of vortex, the peripheries of the rope will be treated and painted in order to create a gradient of dark green, to the natural light green of the rope.

Development under progress.
