Some descriptions of Napoleon’s appearance during his 1797 trip to Switzerland:

This is the time in Napoleon’s life when everyone described him as being extraordinarily thin, to the point of almost looking frail.

Here is a bust of Napoleon from 1798, by Louis-Simon Boizot:

A history of the complex:

At 23 rue de Sévigné, the Hôtel des Ligneris (known as Carnavalet) is, with the square courtyard of the Louvre, one of the rare witnesses of the architecture of the Renaissance period in Paris. Built in the middle of the 16th century (1548-1560) for Jacques des Ligneris, president of the Paris parliament, it is one of the oldest private mansions in the Marais in Paris.

The hotel was sold in 1578 to Françoise de la Baume, wife of the knight Kernevenoy, nicknamed “Monsieur de Carnavalet”. This distorted name has become established.

From 1660, the famous architect François Mansart raised the porch of the hotel on what is now rue de Sévigné and created two new wings. The writer Madame de Sévigné settled there from 1677 until 1694.

Finally, at the suggestion of Prefect Haussmann, at the time of the Grands Travaux de Paris (1853-1870), the hotel was purchased by the City of Paris in 1866, to make it the Historical Museum of the capital.

The extension of the museum was immediately decided with two-story adjoining galleries. The garden facades incorporate elements of demolished Parisian buildings: the Nazareth arch dating from the 16th century, the Drapiers pavilion from the 17th and the Choiseul pavilion from the 18th century. Several sculptures also leave their place of origin to join the museum, such as the statue of King Louis XIV by Antoine Coysevox or the relief of Henri IV by Lemaire (previously installed at the Hôtel de Ville), and also the statue of Victory by Louis-Simon Boizot (coming from Place du Châtelet)

Madame Mère (Maria Laetitia Ramolino Bonaparte, 1750 - 1836)

Description

This stately full-length portrait of Napoleon's mother, known as Madame Mère, shows her sumptuously dressed and seated in a grand apartment with a view overlooking the Tuileries in Paris. She came from a Tuscan family and was born in Corsica. A sculpted bust of her son as consul, close in type to one carved by Louis-Simon Boizot in 1800, confirms her status. Napoleon was the second eldest of her thirteen children, eight of whom survived. The portrait was taken to Italy by her granddaughter, Mathilde, Napoleon's niece, when she married into the wealthy Florentine Demidoff family.

I was doing some geographic research of Paris for my fic and came across their official site for tourists.

They have a whole page dedicated to the show and???? It’s so adorably detailed?? They talk about various locations that were showcased, but also reference specific episodes. Not just season one either—   

A significant moment in the series takes place in Place du Châtelet, at the Fontaine des Victoires (also known as Fontaine du Châtelet and Fontaine des Palmiers). Ladybug kisses Cat Noir in front of this fountain, commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to provide free drinking water to all Parisians. It is pillar shaped and adorned with sculpted palm leaves, with four sphinxes at its base. The gilded bronze Victory statue on top holding up a laurel crown in either hand was sculpted by Louis-Simon Boizot. 

The original statue is now housed in the Musée Carnavalet – maybe because of the damage Guitar Villain inflicted on the fountain when he played his ‘Shocking Riff’ against Cat Noir?

Fontaine des Victoires – place du Châtelet, Paris 1st

The Tour Montparnasse inspired an episode as action-packed as any Hollywood thriller. Adrien’s bodyguard, who has been akumatized into Gorizilla, chases Cat Noir and Ladybug to the top of the 210-metre-high tower offering a spectacular 360° view over Paris. The skyscraper was built on the site of the former Montparnasse station and inaugurated in 1973. Its weight rests on 56 reinforced concrete pillars, buried 70 metres underground.

Tour Montparnasse – rue de l’Arrivée, Paris 15th

Ladybug foils off attacks by three akumas inside the Louvre – Jalil Kubdel, who has transformed into The Pharaoh; The Mime, and Volpina, who creates amazing illusions. The world’s biggest museum was originally a castle built to protect Paris from Norman attacks. Today, it extends over an area of 243,000 m² and displays some 35,000 works. It has 403 rooms, 14.5 km of corridors and 10,000 steps. Stroll around soaking up more than 800 years of history, and do admire the glass and metal pyramid designed by I.M. Pei, where another of Ladybug’s adventures takes place.

Musée du Louvre -Pyramide du Louvre, Paris 1st

The park near the Dupain-Cheng’s bakery was inspired by the Place des Vosges. In the series, the park has a statue of Ladybug and Chat Noir sculpted by the fictional artist Théo Barbot. The real Place des Vosges – the oldest square in Paris – is in the Marais district. It was built in 1605 on the site of a royal palace, the Palais des Tournelles, and indeed initially named Place Royale. It is surrounded by 36 pavilions, all identical except the king’s own pavilion at the southern end and the queen’s at the northern end, both intentionally higher.

Place des Vosges, Paris 4th

When she isn’t busy catching evil akumas sent out by Hawk Moth, Marinette likes meeting up with her friends Alya, Adrien and Nino at ‘Troca’, where she also finds inspiration to design her new outfits. Facing the Eiffel Tower across the river, Trocadéro boasts gardens, ponds and some fine buildings. Start on Place du Trocadéro across from the Palais de Chaillot. From here, you will enjoy one of the loveliest vistas of Paris, and a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.

Le Trocadéro – place du Trocadéro, Paris 16th

Ok, but?? Referencing Nino and Alya too?? Whoever writes/updates the page clearly loves the show. You can read more here.
