Off the top of my head, I know Augustin Robespierre was staying with the Ricords, though I don't know at what address. Charlotte was back in Paris after having been sent to Arras by her brothers, but I can't recall where she was staying - I can try to look it up, though. As for Saint-Just, I don't know, but one of his biographies probably mentions it... In fact, come to think of it, it might be mentioned in Autour de Robespierre : Le Conventionnel Le Bas. I'll check.

Élisabeth Le Bas has this to say on the subject of Saint-Just's address: "Saint-Just demeurait rue Gaillon, près Saint-Roch, dans un hôtel garni ; c’est de là que nous partîmes pour l’armée."

("Saint-Just was staying in the Rue Gaillon, near Saint-Roch, in a furnished apartment; it is from there that we departed for the army.")

And she doesn't deny Lamartine's assertion (which comes in the middle of a passage heavily annoted by her) that she went after her release from prison to Saint-Just's former lodging to buy a portrait of him that had been painted by the daughter of the maître d'hôtel. It's not farfetched to think that it could have been the same place, since that seems to be the only address of Saint-Just's that she knew.

For the rest, I'll keep an eye out. In any case, as zanyofsorrow points out below, letters are often the best source of information on addresses, so if you can get a hold of any correspondence, that's generally your best bet. (Normally, I would be able to help you there, but there's a continent and an ocean between me and my copy of Robespierre's correspondance (which includes letters from his siblings) and Saint-Just's Oeuvres complètes and me, alas.)
