"Romanticism is outmoded, symbolism disused, surrealism has always appealed to a small elite but kitsch is everywhere. Even more pervasive and indestructible now that it is fused to a civilisation based on excess consumption."

Hier j'ai vu pour la première fois Je t'aime, je t'aime d'Alain Resnais (co écrit avec Jacques Sternberg, sorti en 1968) et c'est un film que j'ai aimé avec passion.       Ça raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se remet d'une tentative de suicide et accepte de participer à une expérience scientifique autour du voyage dans le temps. En théorie, il devrait retourner le temps d'une minute dans son passé. En pratique, la machine s'affole et il revit toutes les dernières années de son existence en fragments décousus. Des instants de tendresse, de colère, d'ennui, de discussions philosophiques, des instants qui n'ont pas toujours de sens mais ont existé dans sa vie et il faut bien faire avec. C'est un film sur la manière dont nous nous construisons malgré nous en puzzles éparpillés, un film sur la dépression, la tristesse qui prend comme une vague, sur le temps perdu au travail (il y a une scène géniale dans laquelle le personnage principal compare à l'aide de deux montres le temps du bureau et le temps du dehors), sur l'écriture et les jobs alimentaires. C'est un film sur l'humour qui émerge à des moments inattendus.       Il y a des dialogues qui resteront avec moi pour toujours comme quand Claude Rich dit, le visage impénétrable, à quel point il est "flou" (et ce n'est pas un personnage particulièrement aimable, notamment à cause de son rapport aux femmes mais il m'a bouleversée malgré tout).       C'est peut-être ça d'ailleurs — c'est un film sur le flou étrange d'une vie humaine, impossible à résumer et pourtant fascinante à regarder. Ça tente mille choses et ça les réussit toutes (je vous avais dit que j'avais aimé ce film avec passion). J'écrirai peut-être plus longuement dessus mais je voulais archiver ça là. Vous dire que s'il croise votre chemin, vous pouvez sans crainte aller à sa rencontre.

Aventuriers ?! On pourrait en coller des définitions à cette épithète ! Une chose au moins peut mettre tout le monde d’accord sur ce qui caractérise ce genre de fripouilles célestes : l’aventurier, c’est celui qui repousse les limites.

Les Aventuriers de la Vie, ou les épopées de quelques hurluberlus, certains renommés et d’autres bien plus délaissés par l’histoire. Avec eux, direction les lointaines expéditions et les frénétiques embardées. Au plus loin des continents parsemés de déserts et de jungles, des horizons maritimes et des montagnes au firmament, embarquez-vous avec ces frénétiques forbans, ces toréadors de l’existence, honorant de leurs coups de sabre et de leurs coups de reins la petitesse de nos vies d’homme.

Amateurs de gangsters des limites, de personnages impétueux et de destins grandioses, vous voilà servis !

François-Xavier Consoli, essayiste et journaliste, auteur de l’essai La République contre la France aux Éditions du Verbe Haut, signe son deuxième ouvrage avec cette galerie de destins d’exceptions.

Liste des aventuriers, par ordre d’apparition :

Albert Spaggiari, braquage, cigare et sans haine

Jules Brunet, le vrai dernier samouraï

24 Days of La Fayette: December 11th - Jean-Louis and Jacques-Alexandre Romeuf

Jean-Louis Romeuf (and his younger brother Alexandre) have a special place on this list, because they are thus far La Fayette’s only aide-de-camps that served him during his commands in France. None of the two has ever been to America, neither during the War for Independence nor later on.

Jean-Louis Romeuf was born on September 27, 1766 to Barthélemy Romeuf. He had three brothers, Claude Romeuf, the oldest of the brothers, the l’Abbe Romeuf, the second oldest, who long served as the canon of the cathedral Saint-Flour, and Jacques-Alexandre. The Romeuf’s hailed, just like the La Fayette’s, from the Auvergne in France. It appears as if there had been more children and possible more brothers, but the book Nobiliaire d'Auvergne by Jean-Baptiste Bouillet served as my main source and only featured these four children.

Jean-Louis first entered the army in 1789 when he became an aide-de-camp to General la Fayette who had just been elected commander of the newly formed National Guard. Romeuf had been commissioned a captain in September of 1791 but continued on his current post until he left France alongside La Fayette and a number of other officers in 1792. He was among the unlucky man captured by the Austrians. Adrienne de La Fayette wrote a letter to George Washington in French on October 8, 1792. Tobias Lear translated the letter for Washington and John Dyson made three copies in French. One copy features a postscript that is not found in Lear’s translation or in one of Dyson’s other copies. It reads in parts:

Messr Maubourg, M. Bureau de Puzy et M. la Colombe qui a l’avantage d’avoir servi les Etats Unis meritent d’être distingués parmi les Compagnons d’infortune. Messrs Romeuf, Pillet, Masson, Curmeer les deux jeunes frères de M. Maubourg sont au nombre des Prisonniers, et ont tout le droit possible, à l’interêt le plus tendre par leur attachement à Monsr Lafayette depuis le commencement de la Revolution.

Endnotes of “To George Washington from the Marquise de Lafayette, 8 October 1792,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Presidential Series, vol. 11, 16 August 1792 – 15 January 1793, ed. Christine Sternberg Patrick. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2002, pp. 204–207.] (02/10/2022)

My translation:

Messr Maubourg, Mr. Bureau de Puzy and Mr. la Colombe who has the advantage of having served the United States deserve to be distinguished among the Companions in misfortune. Messrs Romeuf, Pillet, Masson, Curmeer the two young brothers of M. Maubourg are among the number of prisoners, and have every possible right, to the most tender interest by their attachment to Monsr Lafayette since the beginning of the Revolution.

While Jean-Louis Romeuf was imprisoned alongside La Fayette and some of the other officers, I struggle to determine the exact duration of his detention. It is possible that Romeuf even was held at Olmütz. He was however released long before La Fayette because Romeuf managed to play an important part in the Marquis’ release. Jules Germain Cloquet described the scene in his book:

Louis de Romeuf formerly, aide-de-camp to Lafayette, arrived, after some difficulty, from the army at Vienna. He had been sent by Generals Bonaparte and Clarke to have a direct explanation with the Baron de Thugut, the prime minister of Austria. After much negotiation, the minister at last consented to the liberation of the prisoners on condition “that the American consul at Hamburgh would promise to do his utmost to engage them to quit the territory belonging to the imperial jurisdiction within ten days after their arrival at Hamburgh, to which city they were to be escorted.“ Romeuf gave an account of his mission to Generals Bonaparte and Clarke, and also to the Director Barthélemy. He obtained the promise asked of the American consul and was at length enabled, after fresh difficulties to announce that on the 23d September 1797, Lafayette and his friends had been set at liberty.

Jules Germain Cloquet, Recollections of the Private Life of General Lafayette, Baldwin and Cradock, London, 1835, p. 58.

After La Fayette’s release, Romeuf spend the winter of 1797/98 with the La Fayette’s in exile in Danish-Holstein before returning to France. La Fayette rote to George Washington on August 20-21, 1798:

Among the friends who Can give me Minute information is My former Aid de Camp Louïs Romeuf who after Having past the winter with me is now in Bonaparte’s Staff.

“To George Washington from Lafayette, 20–21 August 1798,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Retirement Series, vol. 2, 2 January 1798 – 15 September 1798, ed. W. W. Abbot. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1998, pp. 539–545.] (02/10/2022)

When La Fayette returned to France, it was Jacques-Alexandre Romeuf in his turn, who helped his former General out. Virginie wrote in her book:

She [Adrienne] wished him [La Fayette] to return ere time had brought the slightest change, and without any other authorization than the liberal intentions then proclaimed by the new government. She obtained a passport for him under an assumed name, and M. Alexandre Romeuf one of his former aid de camps brought it to him.

Mme de Lasteyrie, Life of Madame de Lafayette, L. Techener, London, 1872, p. 381-382.

Jacques-Alexandre was born on November 19, 1772 and just like his brother joined La Fayette’s staff in 1790 as a capitaine aide-de-camp. He was not imprisoned along with La Fayette and his brother.

After the end of the French Revolution, the career of the two Romeuf brothers began to prosper. Jean-Louis participated in the expedition to Egypt with the rank of a Chef d’escadron and worked as an aide-de-camp to General Matthieu Dumas. He fought with the Army of the Reserve and served under Generals Brune and Macdonald. He then went on to serve under Maréchal Davoust in 1802 at Bruges and Boulongne as an adjutant-commander. Napoléon I created him Commander of the Legion of Honor and appointed him Governor General of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1808. In May of the same year, the King of Saxony awarded him the Order of Saint-Henri. He was created a baron in 1809 after the Battle of Regensburg. He was commissioned a Brigadier-General and worked as the Chief of Staff in the Army of Germany and then in the First Corps of the Grand Army, commanded by the prince of Eckmulh.

Jean-Louis Romeuf went with Napoléon I to Russia and was killed by a cannon ball during the Siege/Battle of Moscow on September 7, 1812.

La Fayette wrote to his friend Amé Thérèse Joseph Masclet Masclet on April 7, 1813:

The Russian campaign has been particularly fatal to me. You have no doubt shared my regret for the loss of my dear Louis Romeuf, -- a misfortune which I shall never cease to deplore. We have also lost my nephew Alfred Noailles, to whom I was attached by so many feelings and recollections. Victor Tracy has been taken prisoner, as well as my poor friend Boinville, who was obliged to undergo the amputation of all his toes. My cousin, Octave Ségur, was also taken prisoner at the commencement of the campaign.

Jules Germain Cloquet, Recollections of the Private Life of General Lafayette, Baldwin and Cradock, London, 1835, p. 41.

Since Jean-Louis was unmarried and childless, Napoléon I allowed that his titles were transferred to his oldest nephew, Jules Romeuf, the son of his brother Claude.

Jacques-Alexandre Romeuf joined the newly formed Army of Naples in 1806 as a Squadron-Commander and was chosen as his aide-de-camp by general Dumas. By 1807 he was Chief-of-Staff to General Donzelot and was awarded the Royal Order of the Two-Sicilies. In 1810 he was commissioned Adjutant-general and became a Commander of the Order of the Two Sicilies.

Joachim Murat chose Romeuf as his aide-de-camp to accompany him to Russia and so Jacques-Alexandre was with his brother Jean-Louis, when the latter died on September 7, 1812. On December 5, 1812, Jacques-Alexandre was named an Officer of the Legion of Honor. He left the Army of Naples in 1814 and returned to France. He was made Chevalier de Saint Louis on August 20, 1814 by the government of the First Restauration and quitted the army on September 9, 1814.

Just like his brother, he was made a baron, but this time by King Louis XVIII in 1817. It was also King Louis XVIII who appointed Romeuf as a Commander of the Legion of Honor.

Unlike his brother, Jacques-Alexandre had married, a woman by the name of Françoise Gosselin. The couple had one surviving son. Romeuf died on April 26, 1845 in Paris.

Jacque-Alexandre’s Acte de Décès is in the État civil reconstitué (XVIe-1859) of the city of Paris:

Introduction/Who am I?

Okay, so since I’m back on here again in the ongoing exodus, I thought I’d better do an introductory post for anyone who wants to follow as well as refresh old friends and followers. Open to new friendships so feel free to send me asks, reply, or whatever if you want to talk.

La Rencontre

Je le croisais tous les soirs à la même heure, au même endroit. Lui passait toujours sur le trottoir de droite, moi je passais toujours sur celui de gauche. Fait d’autant plus frappant que nous étions toujours les seuls à longer cette ruelle des faubourgs. Je le croisais ainsi depuis des années. Jamais je ne lui avais adressé la parole. Je ne le saluais même pas.

Puis, un soir, en arrivant dans ma rue, je me rendis compte d’un fait, insolite peut-être, qui me frappa avec une force certainement insolite : malgré moi, par distraction sans doute, j’avais pris le trottoir du passant ; j’allais donc le frôler pour la première fois depuis tant d’années. J’entendis son pas à l’heure habituelle. Je vis son ombre d’abord, sa silhouette ensuite et, fait étrange, lui aussi avait changé de trottoir. Je le croisai comme d’habitude, au même endroit, un peu avant le réverbère, je vis son visage et je me sentis m’étouffer : l’homme avait incroyablement changé, c’était certain. Il avait, à n’en pas douter, les traits de mon visage et je compris que moi, finalement, je devais avoir les siens.
