The story about Robespierre visiting the Temple comes from the memoirs of "Madame Royale", in which she says that a Revolutionary, whom she *thinks* was Robespierre came to see them. Of course, since she had never met Robespierre, she couldn't have any idea what he looked like, and thus probably just said it was him because he was the first famous Revolutionary that came to mind.
