Nap Grenadiers a Cheval Question

[Argonor]

The Old Guard GaC had muskets, sources seem pretty solid about that.

BUT: How did they carry them in action, please?

I do not know if it can help but I found this document in French sorry it seems that the grenadiers on horseback did not carry muskets in battle

Thanks, French is fine, as I understand most (and my wife has a master degree in French)  - seems pretty clear on the subject! 

"Ils ne sont pas emmenés
au combat et servent uniquement au service a pied."

This would mean they only used them for guard/garrison duty and the likes, if I understand it correctly?

Yes it is. Your wife has a good article to translate ...
