The expression "Everything as before, headquarters in Abrantes" is a saying traditionally associated with the first French invasion of Portugal, which occurred in 1807.
Faced with the advance of the troops commanded by General Junot, the Portuguese Court made the decision to move to Brazil, as was planned in the Convention previously signed with Great Britain.
General Junot concentrated his troops in Abrantes before continuing the march through Portuguese territory, taking advantage of the city's strategic position.
