 I Giacobini
Dapprima in un cachot (in cella), poi a piede libero, al confino a Sinnamary, dove si trovò, odiato e maledetto, sempre temuto, in mezzo a uomini di cui lui stesso, un tempo, aveva ordinato la deportazione.
Anni dopo Billaud potè beneficiare dell'amnistia per i politici concessa da Napoleone dopo il colpo di stato del 18 brumaio; ma non se ne servì.
Alla Caienna, con i mezzi di famiglia (non esiste contro di lui alcuna accusa di corruzione per il tempo in cui fu al potere) comprò una piantagione e, a tempo debito, degli schiavi (ne parla in alcune lettere al padre), lui che come capo giacobino aveva votato per l'abolizione della schiavitù.

Stronger men with practical instincts of statesmanship, like Danton and Billaud Varenne, who dared to look facts in the face and take the responsibility of doing while others were talking, were the men who made the 10th of August and took the Tuileries.
He it was who presented the petition of the Commune of Paris on 16th August to the Legislative Assembly, demanding the establishment of a revolutionary tribunal and the summoning of a Convention.

 Georges Jacques Danton
Unlike Billaud Varenne or Hébert, or any other of the Terrorist party, he had no wish to use this frightful two-edged weapon more freely than was necessary.
