More Revolutionary Photos!

The second album was close to being done when I posted the first. It'll take me more time to fill up the (inevitable) third album, but in the meantime enjoy these photos featuring Paris, Saint-Denis, Blérancourt, and Bourg-la-Reine!

Ooh, thank you again! Do people wonder what you are taking photos of when you're doing it?

Is Saint-Just's house being restored by a sort of Saint-Just Appreciation society, or is there a French equivalent of the National Trust or English Heritage who steps in and stops buildings falling down? I hope they're going to furnish it or something (I live near two of the Beatles' houses, and they've been restored inside so that, as well as being of interest to Beatles fans, they show 1950's working class (McCartney) and middle class (Lennon) interiors - it'd be good if they could do something like that) . The countryside around it looks gorgeous!

Sometimes it's more understandable, but other times when I'm taking photos of places like... Prieur's home or the apartment building at Bourg-la-Reine I do feel pretty stupid.

Saint-Just's house was restored by a society specifically dedicated to the purpose (L'Association pour la sauvegarde de la maison de Saint-Just), organized by Bernard Vinot. They undertook the project for the bicentennial of the Revolution. It's unfurnished, but currently houses a little museum of things related to Saint-Just.
