Lonely Planet review for Napoleon-ház

Known only to pedants and Lonely Planet guidebook writers is the 'footnote fact' that Napoleon actually spent a night in Hungary on 31 August 1809. at a building now called Napoleon-ház (Napoleon House), appropriately enough, which contains a branch of the City Museum. And why did NB choose Győr to make his grand entrée into Hungary? Apparently the city was near a battle site and an inscription on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris recalls 'la bataille de Raab'.
