In Châteauroux, a Napoleonic weekend for “les Amis de La Martinerie”

At the request of Jean-Michel Lavaud, delegate of the “Le Souvenir Napoléonien” association, “les Amis de la Martinerie” hosted a booth at the Napoleonic Bivouac on Saturday October 2nd and Sunday October 3rd, 2021.

A large varitey of artefacts loaned by several adherents were displayed, including items from Claudie and Frédéric, a battle model made by Laurent along with several items from our association such as the Gribeauval canon model designed by our late friend and armorer, François Théodon. This event was the perfect opportunity for people to learn about our association (about 2000 visits on Saturday)

No visit on Sunday though, due to the storm that raged the night before and forced us to pack everything quickly and bring back all our display to the La Martinerie base.

Thank you very much Anne-Marie, Dominique, Georges, Jean-Jacques, Jean-Pierre, Michel and Philippe for being available.
