I think it translates better as "the aristocrats to the lampposts," but it's really the thought that counts.

Trent do the French, Austro-Hungarians, British and others for this period. I am not sure about the Prussians.

You might find something suitable on this list… link Look for early and revolutionary period headings.

The Emperor Toad's Emporium do French, Austrian, Dutch and Prussian. All infantry. They seem to have great ambitions for this period. My next purchase will be for them: austian firing line and i'm waiting promising French levée en masse. link

To Mserafin : In the song, it's the "lantern" (lanterne) not the "lamppost" (lampadaire), because the lampposts did not exist at the time , it was neither lanterns nor lampposts, but street lamps (réverbère) … Thus in 1667 the French authorities, would be the first to place in the middle and at the two ends of each street lanterns filled with candles and this custom was generalized to all the cities of France … In 1766, in Paris, the lanterns gave way to street lamps, so it would be more like, "Ah! Ça ira! Ça ira! Ça ira! The aristocrats at the street lamp … " We can also sing it (in French) by using the term street lamp … But as you say it's the intention that counts… To IronDuke596: What is "Trent"? The name of a person or a factory? Oh no it' Trent Miniatures ! (Thank you Cerdic !) To Cerdic: Thank again Cerdic…Oh, while I think Chouans and Vendeans would be welcome, no ideas for them? To Fanch du Leon: Thank you ! To 18th Century Guy : The uniforms worn by the Prussians in 1806 to 1807 appear from when? 179..?
