I seem to remember, for some reason, that Michelet took this claim from Charles Nodier (which would fit), but I am not entirely sure. You can check in C. Nodier, 'Souvenirs, épisodes et portraits pour servir à l'histoire de la Révolution et de l'Empire'on Gallica. But whether this description comes indeed from Nodier or from someone else, it seems highly unlikely to me. Hope this helps. : )
