They just need 180 million pounds to get it up and running. 8)

Located south of Montereau, SE of Paris, it will be a great tourist site for those that know next to nothing about Napoleon.

I guess we should look to building either Grantsland or Leeland! :mrgreen:

Perhaps the article could have been worded a bit differently?

(from the article - I do not think that they meant to link one paragraph to another ...)
Other curious potential attractions include a ski run through a battlefield "surrounded by the frozen bodies of soldiers and horses" and a recreation of Louis XVI being guillotined during the revolution – the precursor to Napoleon’s rise to power.

"It's going to be fun for the family,” he Mr Jégo told the Times.

After reading the article, it's kind of weird to have a themed park around Napoleon and do a reenactment of the battle of Waterloo, like if it was the only thing to celebrate about Napoleon. :lol: :lol: :lol:

There was a polemic in France few years ago because Trafalgar was more celebrated than Austerlitz. :mrgreen:
