prononce : [lwE shärl äNtwän' dusA' du vAgOO'] - (anonymously added)

I don't recognize that notation, but if someone does and can label it appropriately, please add it to the article. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:09, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name

the real name of Desaix is : Louis Charles Antoine Desaix not Louis Charles Antoine Desaix de Veygoux !
