The owners of Château
de Saint Michel de Lanès are direct descendants of Comte Alexandre
César de la Panouse, a French hero of the American Revolutionary
War, who was decorated for his bravery with the Order of Cincinnatus.
Cincinnatus was a Roman who, in 458 BC was visited at his farm and asked
to lead the army. He successfully defeated Rome's enemies, and returned
to his farm, all within 16 days. The Order of Cincinnatus is
in the shape of an eagle with the image of Cincinnatus on its breast.
The English translation of the motto of the Order reads, "He gave
up everything to preserve the Republic." |
