BIOGRAPHIES:
- Charles Pierre François Augereau, born on 21 October 1757 in Paris and died on 12 June 1816 in La Houssaye-en-Brie (Seine-et-Marne), was a French general, then Marshal of the Empire and Duke of Castiglione.
- Paul de Barras, known as the Viscount of Barras, and later Paul Barras, born on 30 June 1755 in Fox-Amphoux and died on 29 January 1829 in Paris, was a French nobleman, revolutionary politician, general of the Revolution and the Empire, who was one of the main Directors of the Republic from 31 October 1795, until the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire, year VIII.
A deputy at the National Convention during the French Revolution, he voted for the death of Louis XVI. He appears as one of the key figures in the transition to the Directory, of which he was one of the most eminent members. Holding the presidency of the Directory twice, he was exiled after the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was only after the restoration of the monarchy that he returned to France, where he died in 1829.
- Théophile Malo de la Tour d'Auvergne-Cornet (1743-1800) - whom Bonaparte named "First Grenadier of France." He was killed by a lance through the heart in the battle of Oberhausen. He became a symbol of civic virtues and military courage. His heart is at Les Invalides, while his body is at the Panthéon.
