montagnarde1793There's apparently a town a bit to the South-East of Paris called "Saint-Just-Sauvage" that has a Rue Robespierre. Actually, there are a lot of towns around Paris with one. So why not Paris, eh? EH? None of the others have such interesting names though. I fail to understand why they would name their town Saint-Just-Sauvage," though... O.o Maybe there is a Saint-Just-Apprivoisé someplace.It would seem for the most part, to continue on the theme, that there are several towns with Rues Robespierre in Nord-Pas-de-Calais (unsurprisingly), several towns around Paris also do, and then randomly one near Brest and another few near Lyon. But that's it.
And meanwhile, they still refuse to name any street in Paris after him. Most likely on the grounds that he was OMGTEHBLOODTHIRSTYDICTATOR!!!111!!1! Which I find truly ironic, since there is a Rue Bonaparte in Paris and Bonaparte actually *was* a bloodthirsty dictator. (Or if he didn't have a direct thirst for blood his thirst for personal glory definitely spilled a lot of it.) What's up with that? I don't understand why they don't just give him one of Haussman's; after all he doesn't deserve isn't using it.
And WTF, there's a Rue de Médecis?! And damn, La Fayette's got a huge boulevard! Are the people who decide the street names in Paris completely unaware that he tried to set himself up as military dictator twice and massacred innocent Parisian citizens?! Then again, since there's a Rue Bonaparte, I suppose they don't care.
....I give up. ;______;
Actually, I spoke too soon: there's an Avenue Robespierre in a town near Toulon called La Garde.

Date: Tuesday, 16 January 2007 04:47 (UTC)I suppose if we tried hard enough. Perhaps if I draw R/Gavroche S&M, or something. That's likely to at least get him to turn in his grave.

Date: Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:26 (UTC)O.o The mental images! Yes, I can imagine *that* would make him start spinning in his grave.
