You're right, I forgot 1815 was the second time.

I'm a poor student of history, but if my memory serves, back in the days of Gauls a small Viking or Viking-esque group made it's way up the river to the doorstep of Paris. They demanded loot, and the king obliged, with the request that they leave and not come back. The Vikings went home and told their friends what an easy target Paris was; the next year the group of Vikings was much larger.
L'appeasement!
