#hôtel de soubise

[robespapier]

I went to the Hôtel de Soubise (Archives nationales) with @hurlumerlu​ and we saw the famous (Louis XV desk turned Committee of Public Safety's) desk on which, legend has it, Robespierre laid wounded in Thermidor. But how can we be sure? Do we have precise sources? It can’t have been the only table in the Committee’s rooms? 

Or is it just that the idea of Robespierre, living embodiment of the Revolution, lying dying on was used to be a monarchy desk, was just too good, bittersweet and ironic, so the legend took? 

“The green leather which covers the top is rumoured to have the trace of his blood” says the explanation sign on the desk. The desk’s been cotton swabbed for DNA by Philippe Charlier and his team, to no results. But the desk is scratched and damaged, and there’s clearly a mug stain! 

It was a grey, cloudy day in Paris. But the sun showed up right as I was taking pictures of the desk. Also, look how pretty the Phrygian caps on the desk’s corners are. 

The peace treaty with Italy was signed on this desk in February 1947, but it's way more famous for Thermidor.

May I ask the Frev-related places in Paris you've visited/plan to visit? Such as the CSP table, where is that?

CSP table is at National Archives. I asked @robespapier for the exact description of the location: National Archives at the Hôtel de Soubise, 60 Rue des Francs Bourgeois.

From frev related things, I visited:

- Carnavalet

- CSP table at National Archives

- Pantheon

- Le Procope (also Danton's statue nearby)

- Père Lachaise (frev people graves)

- Palais-Royal

- Tuileries Garden

- Place de la Concorde (it was closed for construction so just from accross the street, from Tuileries)

- Duplay house at rue Saint-Honoré (well, just outside, the sign with Robespierre's name next to the ugly fancy shoes shop)

- SJ's building at rue de Caumartin

🪸French rocailles coming to Württemberg Dukedom - 📌Starting with Schloss Solitude! In one of the extremes of this amazing rococó palace we find the music room. Here we discover one of the masterpieces of the architect Philippe de La Guêpière, a space were carving mouldings stand out. Reminding me too much to some rooms of the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, the french effect is with any doubt, in the mirrors. Here the duke organized small with 2 pianos and 12 standing lecterns on high feet sculpted in white and gold. I really imagine the sound of Carl Philippe Emmanuel Bach in this perfect wood box…what a combo! - Thanks to @schloesser_bawu to facilitate this amazing visit (en Schloß Solitude P3) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cix4N8PAODI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Any mutual in Paris on the 3rd, 4th or 5th of November who wants to hang out (like go see if the famous desk is indeed displayed in the Hôtel de Soubise)?
