Paris? Been there? These novels are not your visit to that Tower. No. But to Napoleon's Paris!

Do you know the real Paris? The one before Hausmann changed it in the 1860s. Before that famous tower was built in the 1880s.

If you love Regency period in England, then knowing Paris during the same time is what's up your alley!

Try any of these: Each has 5 STAR REVIEWS!

While N. N. Light loves SCARLETT AFFAIRS, hundreds of others love the series.

I bet you will too.

Watched 'A Tale of Two Cities"? How to know what happened and what to tour when you visit Paris!

Starting tomorrow, I teach a course October 15 - October 30 that you want to take especially if you love the Regency period, know nothing about Paris during the Napoleonic wars...and you plan a visit soon!

For a small fee, you can learn about the real Paris, during the Terror and afterward. Who lived there, who loved there and who traveled there will surprise you.

Plus you will learn what perfume Josephine wore. What a 'Recamier' is. Why you need to take the tour beneath the Louvre. Oui.  

This course is open to the public. The fee is $35.00 for a non-member of the Regency Fiction Writers group or $20.00 for a member.

An offer that is timely and inexpensive!

Shocking! Napoleon's Paris does not include the Eiffel Tower. It is the Regency period and you should know about it!

 

This is Josephine Bonaparte's Rosa_Josephine_de_Beauharnais Imperatrice, so named after her by a French botanist. She was an avid collector of seeds and cuttings...even through the double blockade of British and French troops along the coastlines of both countries. 

She purchased a house for herself just south of Paris and created a garden that still is tended today in her honor. Among the flowers are roses, asters, and hundreds more.

But do you know how long she took to bathe and dress each morning? Or what her perfume was? Or how she fared after Napoleon divorced her? Or of what condition, at age 50, she died on the very day Napoleon set foot in France after his escape from Elba?

I tell you this and more in a course I developed for REGENCY FICTION WRITERS. It starts October 15. The cost is $35 for non-members and $20 for members!

Join me and we will have a discussion about those places that will give you ideas for new plots for your historical novels!
