Sources for Revolutionary Sites in Contemporary Paris

[coloneldespard.livejournal.com]

Apologies if this has already been covered...I had a look and couldn't see it in the past posts. Does anyone have a book or website recommendations for Revolutionary sites still extant in Paris? Buildings, monuments etc? I'm visiting in June and staying at the Palais Royal, so will be geographically pretty close to revolutionary hotspots. My French is spotty but I can muddle by in reading (am learning at our Alliance Francaise centre in Sydney).

Most google searches I've done seem to turn up tours that are heavy on Marie-Antoinette and rather light on the Committee of Public Safety etc.

In the Conciergerie, you can buy good books and DVDs on the FR, both history and fiction.

Thank you! Loving the idea of coming home loaded with DVDs!
