 La Grande Armée - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
La Grande Armée (in English, The Great Army) is the French military term for the main force in a military campaign.
La Grande Armée originally consisted of six corps under the command of Napoleon's marshals.
As one would expect with the Emperor being a former artillery officer (and one who dubbed it "The Queen Of The Battlefield") France's cannon were the backbone of the Armée's forces, possessing the greatest fire-power of the three arms and hence able to inflict the most casualties.

 La Grande History, Union County, Oregon
A young Frenchman was living in La Grande at this time and he was extravagant in his praises of the beauty of the Grande Ronde Valley as seen from the heights of "Old Town." His use of the French phrase "La Grande" in this connection was familiar to all of the residents.
I885 incorporating the city of La Grande, states that "inasmuch as the present municipal government of the town of La Grande is inefficient and does not subserve the intermits of the inhabitants thereof, this act shall take effect and be in full force after its approval by the governor.
The plat of the original town of La Grande, filed in the office of the Commissioner of the General land office in 1868 shows one R. Mallory as the president of the city council and B. Patterson the mayor, so it is evident that there were elected officials, inefficient though they may have been.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: La Grande Chartreuse
On the east the ridge of the Grand-Som towers above its roof, on the south the road approaches through a narrow gorge, while on the north and west the valley is shut in by heights covered with woods, due to the planting of the earlier monks, but now the property of the State.
The most ancient portions are the Gothic parts of the grand cloître (over 700 feet long) and the church, which dates in part from 1320 or perhaps earlier, but owes its present form to restoration in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.

 La Grande Arche Paris by von Spreckelsen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Located just beyond the city limits, on the other side of the Seine from the 17th arrondissement, the Grande Arche de La Défense anchors the eastern end of the historic axis that stretches from the Louvre down the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe.
One of the Grands Projets (Mitterrand’s 15 billion franc program to provide a series of modern monuments to symbolize France’s central role in art, politics, and world economy at the end of the twentieth century), the modern triumphal arch is actually a 35-story office building—a monument to capitalism?
Amidst the superlatives, the most pleasant aspect of the scheme is its surprising (and surprisingly subtle) asymmetry; it is rotated six degrees off center of the axis, breaking the symmetry of its position extending the line of the Champs Elysées.

 La Grande Illusion
The "grand illusion" itself is never spelled out, and even the film’s reputation as an "anti-war classic" is misleading – it doesn’t have a didactic bone in its body.
Renoir is at his best near Grand Illusion’s end when Maréchal and Rosenthal figuratively reenter the world by taking refuge in a farmhouse inhabited by a war widow (Dita Parlo) and her young daughter.
In one moment she catches Gabin staring at her as she’s scrubbing the floor on her knees, and in the simple act of straightening up at the waist she expresses in turn the woman’s initial mortification, a resentful challenge, and finally a frank return of his sexual interest.

 La Grande Breteche by Honore De Balzac
Otherwise la Grande Breteche reverts to the heirs-at- law, but on condition of fulfilling certain conditions set forth in a codicil to the will, which is not to be opened till the expiration of the said term of fifty years.
Nevertheless, she was simple and clumsy in her ways; her vacant smile had nothing criminal in it, and you would have pronounced her innocent only from seeing the large red and blue checked kerchief that covered her stalwart bust, tucked into the tight-laced bodice of a lilac-and-white-striped gown.
Now, as the event of which she gave me a confused account stands exactly midway between the notary's gossip and that of Madame Lepas, as precisely as the middle term of a rule-of-three sum stands between the first and third, I have only to relate it in as few words as may be.
