Paris Révolutionnaire

tenlittlebullets:

OMG. I just found this in a heap of unsorted bookmarks. I have no idea where it came from or who passed the link along (if it was you, come forward so I can give you a hug, seriously). I guess I must have passed over it and filed it away for later because I assumed it only dealt with the First Republic era? BUT NO they have pages for a whole bunch of eras right up through the 20th century.

What is it? It’s a HUGE database of historically-significant places in Paris, their modern and historical addresses, what happened there (or who lived there), the people involved, and the relevant dates. The thing is that although its main focus is revolutions and opposition figures, it’s absurdly detailed and not at all narrow in scope: if you want to know when Victor Hugo moved to the Place des Vosges and where he lived before that, or the addresses of prominent opposition newspapers, or where various Romantic authors/painters/composers lived, or every minor street disturbance in the early 1830s, or completely random shit like the location of the last public washing-house in Paris or the names and addresses of fashionable hat shops, or even which streets still have architecture characteristic of a particular era, they’ve got you covered. It’s like someone’s been picking at my deepest, darkest, most embarrassingly nit-picky and overdedicated desires re: research and Paris nerdery.
