Voltiare
A witty writer, we own much of our enlightenment ideas to him
Who is your favorite French person and why?
The one I play SFV with because he's good at the game
Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette
Le Héros des Deux Mondes
Repose en paix
I like Voltaire but he was a bit of a hypocrite
He was a filthy free mason but F
Also Tocqueville is kind of funny in a sad way, guy was a genuine blue-blooded aristocrat who had his family decimated and he was *still* in favour of the revolution
thats part of his charme
Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre
It isn't very charming, especially when it's driven by an ego fueled by the saltiness of the nobility
He was more a humorous prankster than an individual I'd want to converse with
...
I thought it was pretty funny
>flee from Frederick II. court and steal a bunch of shit

>"why are you treating me like this? other rulers will look at us and say, 'see, the philosopher king cant get along with other philosophers' "
For slavery ? Yeah.

this badass french-mongol guy
Lavoisier! He taught us all about oxidation!
>the incorruptible
As much as I can't hock what he stood for I have to admit his 'incorruptibility' and dedication was pretty hardcore.
Bouguereau or maybe Manet
Napoleon was Italian not French
Joan of Arc
By the time of 19th century our emperors were german, not russian. Relax

Gilles de Rais
Prominently daring, yet obnoxiously perverted.
