Talk:Félix Faure

place of birn
In the biography : "Félix François Faure was born in Bordeaux, " and on the right in the section personnal details "Born 30 January 1841 Paris, France" something is wrong.. In the french version of this article Felix Faure was born in Paris, France.

I don't know if i could modify, i will try and if i made a mistake please correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:660:500B:43:0:0:0:11 (talk) 06:42, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Is the cause of death confirmed or rumor?

I do not know anything about this matter, but the text is confusing. Did he die _while_ seeing a prostitute? _When_ makes it sound like he was walking down the street and, upon spying a prostitute, promptly dropped dead.

He died while making love with a girl generally qualified as "courtisane" in French I don't what will be OK in English "Escort girl" ? Ericd 12:11, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

She wasn't an escort ; she was marrried to an accredited painter to the french presidence, she met the president on official occasions and had a "classic" affair with him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.7.99 (talk) 13:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

He was "the son of a small furniture maker": was it the man or the furniture that was small? I suspect it was neither, but rather that he owned a small furniture business. 77.100.218.162 (talk) 06:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Memoirs or Journal
We watched a movie that said the journals were published in 2007. Does anyone have any information? I'm drawing a blank. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8804:1E80:16F0:D519:B312:49EA:BE32 (talk) 22:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Coup?
His mistress published this in her memoirs:

(1898)

October 16th. Félix Faure, during the last week, has been unusually mysterious in his ways. I know what he calls his "great scheme," but I have hardly thought him to be quite in earnest about it. Judging by his character I thought he would reconnoitre before attempting to achieve his aim. He has completely failed at the outset and he now admits it. Convinced that the French nation as a whole is thoroughly tired of the Dreyfus agitation, and that the hopelessly perturbed state of the country is a national calamity, he thought the only remedy to be a kind of coup d'état. His plan is, or rather was, this: With the assistance of the army—for he would obtain, or rely upon, the support of many prominent generals—Félix Faure wanted to make the Presidency independent of the Parliament, and establish a military Government.... A bold scheme, but one which was doomed to failure, for Félix Faure has not the necessary qualities, and there is no Augereau amongst his military friends, the present Parliament is quite unlike the Corps Legislatif of 1797, and the army cannot be compared in any way with the omnipotent soldiery of Bonaparte's days.

Is there anything to this? Something should gibe put in the article, if so. 2A00:23C7:E287:1900:51E0:D571:B988:25A2 (talk) 23:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
