Oui. And as Palma (of Duke) has recently reminded us, it was revolutionary
(then) as per "revolution francaise".
I knew Judy would like the idea of a French school being 'normal'. Note that
an OED quote for 'public school boy' (why not 'girl' -- cfr Roeden) is:
'public school boy': Lyceen, gymnast.
-- whatever that means.
If it was all due to Napoleon, I don't see what he had to do with the South
Kensington Normal School of Design, though.
