Napoleon Fact or Fiction?

Challenge:
Find one weird, surprising or little-known fact about Napoleon Bonaparte.

💡 Example:

Did you know that Napoleon was once attacked by a horde of wild rabbits during a hunting trip? His men had planned the hunt, but the rabbits, released from cages, ran toward him instead of away! It shows that even the greatest generals can’t control everything…
