In Switzerland right now and saw this cool lion monument only to discover it's for the Swiss mercenaries who died defending Louis XVI AGAINST the revolution LMAOOOOO

"In 1792, the lucrative trade collapsed" GEE I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED

The funniest thing is that none of the signs are willing to be explicit and clear about that. I had to explain to two confused tourists that 1792 was when the French Revolution overthrew Louis and Marie 💀

I think i peak here

I love him your honor.

"Robespierre, l'amant de la patrie" translates as "Robespierre, lover of the fatherland". Quite cringy but it was written by a descendant of the Duplay familly who had heard so much about him from his relatives that he wanted to put their memories on paper to save them for posterity. I have not read much of it yet, but I'll post anything of interest.

"Études sur Robespierre" first chapter is very interesting, we see Bonbon as an envoyé aux armées who is trying to free people wrongly emprisonned by setting patriotic village councils in old churches and listening to the people explanations as to why x or y should be freed or kept in jail. He also tries to fight against corrupt officials trying to hide the fact that they are buying aristocrates furniture, art or jewels before the legal auction (and with assignats) by being violently anti religious.
