The changing of the calendar was done by the revolutionists, not by Napoleon. I believe he changed it back.

If Napoleon changed the calendar back, then he (or his heirs and sucessors) should be made to apologise for THAT. Lets keep the apologies flowing.

Well, SOMEONE thankfully changed it back!!

Yes, the names of the months did have a revolutionary tone about them.

Thx for the info.
