What does Napoleon’s grave at night even look like? I feel like it would be creepy af in the darkness because it’s inside a massive marble church and his tomb is surrounded by giant angel statues in circular formation. I’m sorry, I’m just picturing the angel statues surrounding his tomb shootings laser beams at me in the middle of the night for trespassing 😂😂

But there would certainly be a bunch of interesting people to talk to. Napoleon, Joseph, Jérôme, Duroc, Bertrand, and Napoleon’s son are all buried in the same church. Plus, historical people from other eras as well.

Imagine visiting cemetery at moonlight and noticing that ghost of your historical fave is sitting on their grave and chatting with the ghosts of their contemporaries

God this was soooo funny and absurd. Macron actually took Trump to Napoleon’s tomb and then Trump managed to insult both the French AND the Russians.

Also, I’m going to use Trump’s explanation for Napoleon’s downfall: “he had extracurricular activities so everyone froze to death.”

We honestly live in the strangest timeline.

What night, what extracurricular activities, what the fuck?

One mildly chilly day in August and suddenly I want to read every Victorian novel in existence.

“you guys don’t have sex at the gravesites of your fallen faves????” — average bonapartist

I’m losing it at the guy who posted on r/napoleon asking if it was worth it to make a side trip to Paris from a trip to Poland to see Napoleon’s tomb

mentioned that losing his virginity was on his bucket list

Receiving comments being baffled and a few comments going “lose your virginity on/at the tomb!”

And then clarifying that he meant his napoleonic virginity, never visited Austerlitz or Waterloo or held a genuine sword

why would you fucking phrase it that way

Tomb of Eugène de Beauharnais (1781-1824), stepson of Napoleon Bonaparte. He retired to Munich with his wife, the daughter of the king of Bavaria, after all the Napoleonic Wars. (I didn't even know who this tomb even belonged to until after I got back home)
