French Revolutionary Photos

I'm not sure whether or not anyone is interested in this, but I thought I'd post it just in case. I am currently living in Paris and in my free time, here and there, I go to assorted revolutionary sites and take photos. This includes big stuff like the Conciergerie and little stuff like graves and homes of less than famous people. I've been putting it together into albums, which I figured I'd share with anyone who was interested here. This is the first album, a second one is well underway, but I figure I'd post it when it was full.

Barnave looks ridiculously smug, he really cracked me up xD So did the 'revolutionary portrait party', with the amusing wallpaper. And I find the women's courtyard in the Conciergerie far more pleasant looking than I probably should.

Is Antoinette's the only cell that has been re-created? And can you actually walk into the Duplay's courtyard? It looks like there's bags of trash there and such; from this picture I get the feeling that it's the backyard to the restaurant.

Yeah. They're capitalizing on the fact that Marie Antoinette is the only person associated with the prison that they can assume an average person knows about.

Yes you can and yes it is! The first time I went it was full of trash bags, the second time, no. I guess it's just where Les Delices de Manon (the yummy patisserie next door/in the Duplay's living room) stores their trash.

I'm writing from an ultra-modern computer now, and I've having the exactly same troubles I had in my old PCV. I just can't see your photos and I'm very frustrated, since I was really interested in them. And I'm also having trouble with Livejournal. Almost always, the site loads extremely slowly and I can't see most of the images shown here. Does anyone knows how to solucionate the problem...I'm in a friend's house using her very modern computer and the results are always the same...I can't see any pic, nor art from this site. But weird enough, I can see perfecly all people's avatars. Explain me this!
