May 5th this year sees the 200th anniversary of Napoleon's death. I wonder if the event will be marked and if so how? I for one will certainly mark the day somehow, at the very least by raising a glass of Gevrey Chambertin [or 2] to his memory. Paul

I will wear black cloths to mourn that the French Republic was betrayed.
Technically, he betrayed the Directoire, which had already betrayed the Revolution.
The Paris army museum plans a larger exhibition - check https://www.musee-armee.fr/au-programme/expositions/detail/napoleon-nest-plus.html for further information ... I heard from Yves Martin, that objects from several other collections will be shown there.
