A Napoleon theme park in France?
“Napoleonland”, the brainchild of former French minister and history buff Yves Jégo, is being touted as a rival to Disneyland – assuming, that is, it can gather the £180 million needed to leave the drawing board. The plan is to build the unlikely amusement park on the site of the brilliant but doomed French leader’s final victory against the Austrians in the Battle of Montereau in 1814 just south of Paris.
France plans NapoleonlandI have a hard time seeing how this would play out. Fun and rides on the same site where thousands lost their lives in battle? And what about people who have a less-than-stellar opinion of Napoleon? How is this idea going to work?
Waterloo isn't far away ! 😉
