Miscellaneous gems from Les Invalides yesterday. I tried my best to reduce the glare from the display cases, but it wasn’t always possible.
Here are three swords that belonged to Murat.
This pair of pistols was gifted to Murat by Cambacérès.
Lasalle’s saber and pipe:
Various cavalry uniforms:
A Marshal uniform of Lannes, with some close-ups of the embroidery:
On another note, we just missed potentially seeing the younger Prince Murat, who visited Les Invalides one day after @histoireettralala and I, for the commemoration of Napoleon’s birthday.

Left: Gaetano Donizetti, Right: Marshal Moncey
On May 5, [Gaetano] Donizetti was present at the ceremony memorializing Napoleon on the twentieth anniversary of his death. Writing to Antonio Vasselli on May 6, he said: “Yesterday (May 5) I went to the funeral service for the death of Napoleon. It was touching to see all those who served: some of them even had the uniforms of that period, moth-eaten, threadbare, frazzled; many had had them made new. They kissed the lid, the imperial crown; they wept, and Moncey, the oldest marshal, who is almost a hundred years old, was in dress uniform.”
Context: The year was 1841. Marshal Moncey passed away a year later in 1842.
