Legend is that one of his servants, every day, pulled the ball, dumped the powder, and reloaded them.

Have to remain in France?   I would assume that it was a Frenchman who bought them.  Imagen buying something like that an not being able to take it home.

 

Napoleon gave the guns to his friend Armand de Caulaincourt in 1814.

 

The French government declared the guns a National Treasure on Wednesday, meaning that they can't leave the country.
