French Revolutionary Photos

[livviebway.livejournal.com]

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.

Absolutely fantastic; thank you so much for sharing.

Nice, very nice. It's great to be able to look at these and say 'I've been there!' Thanks for sharing!

Adding to LJ memories.
Thank you so much. Great and very interesting pics. If I ever go on a trip to Paris, I'll try to visit these places.

Wow, that's wonderful; you got to many more places than I ever have in several trips. -__-;

I have a question and a correction, though, if you will. First, the question: where exactly is that door to Robespierre's extra staircase? Is it in the courtyard? And if so, just on the left side?

The correction is on a minor point: David's heart is the only part of him buried in Père Lachaise; his body is interred in Brussels, where he died. (Since he died in 1825, they wouldn't allow him, as a regicide, back into France, even dead.)

Thanks for posting these! They're really quite sad - the broken cup and the dog-eared case, and the other leftovers...reminds me of clearing houses after relatives have died. I will have to get over my fear of tunnels/flying (stupid and illogical, I know) and go, though I know my friends will take the piss out of me when I get upset!

Oh God, wow, you took wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see the rest.

(Incidentally, you can link people outside of Facebook to your albums there?)

Grrrr!!!! Even if I am member of Facebook, I seems not to be able to see your pictures. Maybe later I could enter there, but by now, I can only see blank little squares. Again: GRRRR!!!!

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.

Finally!!!! YAY!!!!

Hey, People! I finally could see and save the nice Olivia pics! I did what follows: I opened them, and went to the little blank square and marked "copy"...Then I opened Word and put the pic there. Then I finally could SEE all the photos and send them one by one to my mail. Then I could save them to Bmp system, and convert them to jpeg later. It was a hard work, but it was worth to do it, since your pics, dear Olivia are just....amazing.

I'll comment them later, for now, I'm seeing that you posted your second album in Facebook! Great!

I hope I could go to Paris again and visit my beloved Hanriot's house at Rue de la Clef. It still stoods.
