Jaybo Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 More to come tomorrow about this Romanian order.Don't hesitate, if you want to see a pic of an order or medal... Cheers.Ch.Hello Christophe, Wonderful photos of the inside of L'Hotel se Salm(Salm)! My wife and I LOVE Paris. It is the most beautiful city that we have visited (which we last did in 2005). For myself, the entering of La Musee d'Armee & Les Invalides for the first time was a dream come true. My wife suffered through it like a trooper for about 4 hours. The next time, I think I will go solo to that museum! Alas, when we went to visit La Musee de Legion d'honneur, it was....FERME! ZUT!!! Now I understand that Project Athena has the Napoleon wing of La Musee d'Armee also closed down. It look like 2008 might be the right time to return. As for your most generous offer, if you are so inclined some photos of any of les ordres da l'ancien regime (Saint'Esprit, Saint-Michel or Saint Louis) would be appreciated. Of course, anything from le premier empire is always welcome as well. Perhaps we can buy you that beer in '08.All the best,Jaybo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybo Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Christophe, Thanks for the information on Project Athena. It looks as if 2008 will be a good year to return. We shall see. Photos of those orders would indeed be appreciated. I currently own an immaculate Restoration Chevalier's badge of the Order of St. Louis. I have never seen any examples of the other ancien regime orders except in books like that of Monsieur Damien. I'm still looking for a 'reasonably' priced First Emire Chevalier's badge to display opposite the St. Louis order. They have really shot up in price in only the last year or so. Presumably the same situation exists in France. Keep in touch.All the best,Jaybo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
