During the French Revolution, Catherine Hubscher, nicknamed “Madame Sans Gêne” for her outspokenness, improved the daily lives of soldiers by practicing her job as a laundress at the rear of the front. Among her clients, two simple officers: the brave and attractive Sergeant François Lefebvre as well as a young Corsican captain whom she whitewashes at her own expense. Lefebvre marries Catherine. Many years later, Napoleon conquered Europe at the head of the armies with the unfailing support of Lefebvre, who became Marshal. But the Maréchale denotes the court of the Emperor
