Ayo frev community, this one's for y'all

Technically 9 Thermidor was yesterday, but since Robespierre and Saint Just are executed today I'm posting it now. You can call this the second version of 'Red Spider Lily' but less graphic.

[barbaroux]

I was wise, if you like, because I was prepared for death at any moment, but not because I had taken care of everything that was given me to do, rather because I had done none of it and could not even hope ever to do any of it.

commissions open

We’re notifying you, citizen, that we believe it is time to close the barriers, if they have not been so already; that we send to the post office, that we put seals on all the journalistic presses, and that for this purpose we give order to the police commissioners to put under arrest the journalists, as well as the treacherous deputies; this is our and Robespierre’s opinion. Signed: the police administrators, Tanchon, Faro, E. Bigant, Quenel

The Paris Commune in a message to one of its agents on 9 thermidor, cited in Rapport fait au nom des Comités de salut public et de sûreté générale sur les événements du 9 thermidor an II, précédé d’une préface en réponse aux détracteurs de cette mémorable journée, prononcé le 8 thermidor an III, la veille de l’anniversaire de la chute du tyran by Edme-Bonaventure Courtois, supporting document number 13.

I thought that scene in LRF where Robespierre on 9 thermidor tells a guy (don’t know who he’s supposed to be) to shut down newspapers and arrest journalists and Convention deputies was made up in order to make him more of a bad guy, but turns out it’s actually not that far from the truth?

Original text (I thought it was rather strangely phrased in a few places, so feel free to tell me if there’s any translation fails):

Nous te donnons avis, citoyen, que nous croyons qu’il est instant qu’on ferme les barrières, si elles ne le sont pas; qu’on envoie à la poste, que l’on mette les scellés sur toutes les presses des journalistes, et qu’à cet effet on en donne l’ordre aux commissaires de police, et les journalistes en arrestation, ainsi que les députés traîtres; c’est l’avis de Robespierre et le nôtre. Signé: les administrateurs de police, Tanchon, Faro, E. Bigant, Quenel

I had this dream before where it was my job to look at people's pet cats and feel the vibes they were giving off. Then I had to turn to the correct page in the guidebook I was carrying.

I petted this orange cat, opened up the book, and it said:

9 THERMIDOR

The other cat had fleas so I couldn't read that one.

I was literally distracted on TikTok and someone just posted what day it was today, then I checked and I was like:

NO IT'S 9TH THERMIDOR!! 😭

in a high-pitched tone, and I apologize to my neighbours for this. 🥲

Hi Saint-Just, why do you look 40

#we love to see him on the 9 Thermidor morning #if that's any comfort Tallien also looks 40 #saint-just #joséphine ou la comédie des ambitions

[noura-addams]

Robespierre's head.

Some of the illustrations that represent the head of robespierre being held up besides for his sketch of him before his execution with his injured jaw.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The second one I'm not sure of her source but it has being said that is him being drawn on the other side of his face and not from his injured side like the last illustration shows,so I'm not sure it's just a speculation.

Side note: the quality of the pictures is very high to bless your eyes.

#frev #french revolution #french history #robespierre #maximilien robespierre #happy 9 of thermidor *sad silence*

[saint-jussy]

“Even when a person’s opinions could not be expressed during their lifetime, even when their life was sacrificed because of this, if their words are propagated, they emerge victorious. Perhaps because of his realization of this, Saint-Just always prepared his speeches beforehand.”

- From the Saint-Just bio by Yang Renpian

Frev locations compile

Thought of compiling a list of frev significant locations so it can help with recommendations for anyone who happens to be travelling/visiting! This is only done to my knowledge and not a complete list, please feel free to suggest if you happen to know more locations that I completely missed!

so here is the frev pilgrimage list! Long post warning.

(Note: The items are not in any particular order)

(Note: I typed this post up a long time ago but couldn't finish, a lot of thanks to the people who helped out on contributing information and your patience with me.)

Musée Carnavalet (Paris)

This one is very obvious, it is a must go for seeing a collection of frev related artifacts and paintings, including Couthon’s wheelchair, Robespierre’s hair, the most iconic portraits etc. Also its FREE.

Panthéon (Paris)

You can see the statue of the National Convention deputies. It doesnt have too much related to frev directly, but Rousseau and Voltaire (and Carnot…..) are interred there

La Conciergerie (Paris)

If you want to see the Deseine bust of Robespierre, but cant go to Vizille, there is a copy of it here within Paris at the conciergerie. It is the place where most frev figures as well as Antoinette spent their last monents.

Musée des archives nationales (Paris)

(June 2023) There is a temporary exhibit featuring frev rn which I highly recommend (also its free to go so like GO)

But beyond the temporary exhibit, I believe there are still a few things in permanent collection (Robespierre’s note book page, Antoinette’s last letter in prison, Comte d’Artois’ letter etc), including the famous 9 thermidor table that Robespierre supposedly lied on. the museum is free to visit.

Père la Chaise (Paris)

@robespapier wrote a better post on navigating the cemetery. It helped me so much with finding the graves of Lebas, Elisabeth and Eleonore Duplay! Thank you so much for the guide!

Rue Saint Honoré (Paris)

the current address of the Duplays household is 398 rue saint-honoré, which is now next to a louboutin store…. There is a commemorative plaque there indicating Robespierre’s residence there. Im not sure about going inside the residence….There was construction when I visited and the door was open, heres how it looks on the inside.

SJ’s bust (Paris & Angers)

I have not visited either of the two locations yet, but you can find that white bust of Saint-Just (that seemed to be modelled after the pastel portrait in the Carnavalet) in either Petit Palais (Paris) or Galerie David d’Angers (Angers). @orpheusmori has posted some Petit Palais pictures here @robespapier has posted some Galerie David d'Angers pictures here

Marat sign (Paris)

i have an image of this plaque sitting on my phone, I forgot where it was located until @orpheusmori helped me track the location of it! It is in the Odéon area and should be in the small narrow street with the back side of Le Procope. It commemorates the location as an important area during the French Revolution as well as the place where Marat established his printing shop.

The front of the same building also has another Marat plaque! I didnt know about it before thank you @orpheusmori for finding and contributing the photo! This one is above an Jewellery store (Amour de Pierres) https://maps.app.goo.gl/8X9zgKYpMiLJcULq7

Olympe de Gouges sign (Paris)

Once again, i have a photo of the plaque proving its existence, but I took it years ago and i dont remember where it was exactly.... It was all in the Odéon area, it shouldn’t be too far from the other….

Danton statue (Paris)

there is a Danton statue! Right outside the Odéon metro! You cant miss it. Also the placement of the statue is where he once lived.

Procope (Paris)

Its a really old cafe frequented by a lot of philosophes as well as many frev figures. There is also a bicorn from Napoleon inside. Right now its still a restaurant establishment, and its difficult to visit unless you eat inside….which is expensive…. However ! This whole general Odéon area is full of other frev landmarks (some more mentioned below). Including the metro station which has a bust of Danton.

Versailles revolutionary room (Versailles)

Beyond the royal family, there is a room dedicated to a lot of major Revolutionary Army generals and battles. Theres that one painting of Lafayette if u into that

Musée des armes/Invalides (Paris)

It has a significant collection of military artefacts from the French Revolution and its a really good resource for armory researches. The museum also has a sword that belonged to Lafayette, as well as a sword belonging to Carnot during the Directoire (image below)

Louvre

The Louvre does not have a lot relating to the French Revolution but it has a few significant paintings and a lot of David’s work. One of the Death of Marat copies produced by David’s studio should be in the museum, as well as a painting featuring the battke of fleurus (with SJ cameo)

Tennis court (Versailles)

Near the palace of Versailles you can find the room where the deputies swore the famous oaths. It is free to enter, although last time I went it was undergoing construction, hopefully it should have finished by now.

Musée de la Révolution Française (Vizille)

If you can go to Vizille… GO TO VIZILLE! The easiest way by transport would be to stay at Grenoble then take one of the buses that runs between Grenoble and Vizille. It is a whole museum dedicated to the revolution (and it is free) and the park is really pretty. This is where you can find the statue of Marat,

The Deseine busts including dear Bonbon,

And DJ Saint-Just.

Also special thank you to @citizentaleo for taking me there, I would’ve otherwise been lost in the French mountains lol, thank you!

Maison Robespierre (Arras)

You can visit Robespierre’s residence in Arras. It is possible to visit the inside, but it has a very specific and short opening hours.

I wasn’t able to go in since I was only in Arras for a few hours….But I got to attend a conference by Hervé Leuwers aaa (He is very sweet and I learned quite few new things from the presentation, but thats post for another day)

Robespierre metro stop (Paris suburb)

There is in fact, a Robespierre metro station on line 9! Not much beyond name but at least some credit to him! Alas it is not exactly within Paris and just on the outskirt. (Oh and there is also Voltaire)

Cordeliers club (Paris)

I dont have much information on what happened to the original location of the Cordeliers club and how it was modified, but the location is part of the sorbonne campus now i believe. I'd be very curious if anyone knows more information on this.

Place de la Bastille (Paris)

The Bastille is of course not there anymore, but the ground around the square and including the metro stations near by have traces/marks of where the old prison would have stood.

(and yea the picture was taken during a manif)

Pavillon de flore (Paris)

The pavillon attached to the Louvre and next to the Pont Royale is the Pavillon de Flore, which is where the Committee de Salut Publique worked.

Jacobin club (Paris) Alas the original convent in which the Jacobin gathered is no more and replaced by a commercial centre instead (Passage de Jacobins) . There is a sign however recognizing the place for what it was.

Place de la Concorde (Paris) Originally Place de la Révolution, there is a plaque remembering the executions that took place here near the obelisk.

Maison SJ (Blérancourt) I have not been to Saint-Just's house yet, because it is very hard to commute there without a car. But it certainly is still there and (I believe) maintained by the Saint-Just Association.

Catacombs (Paris) According to wikipedia....The bone remains of many revolutionaries buried in Cimitière Errancis (which has a plaque indicating it in the 8th arrondissement, according to wikipedia) are transferred to the catacombs, including Robespierre, Danton, etc. The catacomb is roughly organized chronologically but there is obviously no sign indicating which bone it actually is.

Cluny La Sorbonne station (Paris) It is on metro line 10 and the waiting tunnel is decorated with signatures of prominent French figures. It doesn't have any actual frev artifacts, but it looks cool and you can spot Robespierre, Danton, and Camille Desmoulins' signatures on the ceiling.

Louis le Grand (Paris) The school that Robespierre attended is still under the same name and still in use as a school! (i've reached the image maximum alas i cannot add more images...)

And that is all I can think of so far! There is surely a lot more that are out there (including outside of France). Once again, please feel free to mention if you know more frev landmarks that I missed out on. And to whoever happens to be travelling I hope you find this list helpful to start with.
