questions in text[edit]

Who is the prefect? I see previous mention of a maréchal and no prefect. Please clarify and remove the tag.

Sending memoirs back to Paris -- well first of all, it probably wasn't his memoirs. I am also however unclear what it means to say he was an attaché -- a big part of the Pyrenées are in France these days, and while that hasn't always been true things have been pretty stable in France for centuries and he's a 19th century dude. Was he in Andorra? Basque Country? I get that whatever he was doing allowed him to send reports to Paris, but on what, and what was he theoretically doing, as cover? I suspect that either you missed a paragraph in the translation -- which could be ok mind, but not at the expense of questions like these. Otherwise, if that is what the French says, it's time to dig around a little because fr.wikipedia is a lot more casual about cut and paste that we are, at least from what I have seen.Elinruby (talk) 13:07, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

--I just checked the French and that *is* what that sentence says. I will come back to this and look into it further Elinruby (talk) 13:14, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
