Ceci vous représente un grand combat qu’on peut croire commandé par le Général Croque Betterave! qui n’entrera pas au Musée historique de Versailles, et qui doit servir de pendant à la Bataille de Cannes.
[This is a representation of a great battle commanded by General Sugar cracker (beetroot). It will probably not make its way into history (will not enter the Historical Museum of Versailles) but one can already see a certain similarity to the battle of Cannes.]
