We mentioned the chaining of the convicts at Bicêtre here again, so I will again link to Le Dernier Jour d'un condamné (The Last Day of a Condemned Man) in French and in English; the chapter describing such a chaining is chapter 13.
Bicêtre is on our Google map in the Part 2 layer, and in the current Part 4 layer, I have added the approximate spot where Jean Valjean and Cosette watched the chained convicts pass, at the Barrière du Maine.
