Oh my gosh I can actually share all the frev finding here AAAAAAA

I went to the temporary exhibit Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette & la Révolution at Musée des Archives Nationales and it's really really worth it! Also it's free

They had recordings of Louis' room temperature in the Tuileries (which is recorded in réaumur unit). The highest temperature record here is 19 reaumur which apparently converts to 23.75 celsius, so damn Louis' room is pretty cold in May lol. (sorry edit: that's highest it ever reaches most of time it's much colder than that hhhh)

There is also a bunch of exchanges between Antoinette and Fersen that's actually written in cipher! (So yes concrete proof that Antoinette is actively working against the revolution Antoinette stans take that) Sorry the picture is blurry the room is dark

ALSO Robespierre's draft for his speech against the war in the Jacobins!! His writing!!!

ALSO ALSO APPARENTLY the alleged table in which he layed upon during 9 thermidor is in the permanent collection in this museum?? Which i never knew before??

one final thing there's also a page from Robespierre's notebook that is also on display (not part of the temporary exhibit) and it's just...a list of people...with numbers associated to them? It would be very funny if he is ranking them and giving them each a score based on how likeable they are lol

The exhibit continues all the way till July 3rd! But then it will reopen again in later months I believe.

Langle and the Résolue

I will do everything in my power to avoid any kind of encounter until we have landed in North America, and I am sure, your majesty, that Colonel Laurens will have on board of the Résolue all of the respect that is due to a distinguished soldier whom you did the honour of recommending to me; and I will consult him if I find myself in such danger that giving whatever assistance I could to the Cybèle would risk the Résolue falling into the hands of the enemy. Colonel Laurens’s lodgings are ready, and are as comfortable as they can be in times of war on board this frigate, and as the Count d’Hector ordered.

Chevalier de Langle responding to the instructions conveyed to him under Louis XVI's name, 21 May 1781

(my translation – original French under the cut)

Paul Fleuriot, chevalier de Langle, was the French naval officer tasked with conveying John Laurens and about 1 million livres of specie from Brest, France to America. He commanded the frigate Résolue, which sailed in convoy with the Cybèle and the Olimpe to deliver the much-needed military stores and hard currency to the continental army.

Many thanks to @echo-bleu for help deciphering the scribbles! Presume an overarching [sic] for this whole text – 18th century spelling is a wild ride in English but the French dial that up to 11.

je ferai tout ce qui deprendera de moy pour eviter toutes especes de rencontres jusqua latterage de l’amerique septentrionale et je suis sur monseigneur quon aura a bord de la resolue pour le colonel Laurens touts les egards qui son dus a un militaire distingué que vous me faites l’honneur de me recommander, et je le consulterai si je me trouve ases embarassé pour creindre que le secours que je dois donner a la cibele ne fasse tomber la resolue au pouvoir de l’enemi. Le logement du colonel Laurens est pret, il est aussi comode quil peut l’etre en temps de guerre a bord [de la] fregatte et tel que monsieur le comte d’Hector l’a ordonné.

the people at the archives nationales want to see me dead but i also found out they built a stand at the notre dame just so people can watch the cranes move and the builders walk around the scaffolding and that did brighten up my day

Portrait à facettes d'Arlette Farge, historienne, spécialiste des archives de police du 18ème siècle, dont les recherches ne cessent d'ouvrir de nouveaux chantiers pour les historiens de demain. Le film évoque ce parcours atypique, qui nous emmène des salles de dépôts des Archives Nationales à des rencontres plus inattendues, comme la photographe Valérie Jouve. Ce sont les tours et détours d'une historienne, entre sa passion pour le versant méconnu du Siècle des Lumières et ses engagements les plus contemporains.

hi! if you are still looking for them, i was able to locate the french papers you mentioned (in the online archives of la Bibliothèque nationale de France) Here are the links, in order : - https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k97657627/f569.item - https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bd6t5381242j/f768.item - https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9768089d/f19.item

hopefully you are able to access the documents, otherwise i could probably download the pdfs and send them you way don't know if you needed someone to translate them, but that's not something i would be able to do anyway (mostly for time reasons+probably a lot of specific biology terms that i wouldn't know) hope this helps!

EXCELLENT!!! thank u so much

okay guys, hear me out. imagine. james potter is an indian history professor who goes to the french archives for his research on french colonies in India over the summer, where he meets the archive curator of the Archives Nationales, dr regulus black, who never gives him exactly what he wants so they can keep meeting over and over again as james works on his paper. btw way their love language is highlighting quotes in the xerox copies of the manuscripts that they share because they thought the other would like it.
