    		Seychelles? Named after Jean Moreau de Seychelles. Only problem is that he was controlling general of finances (1754-1756) to Louis XV, which was about 35 years before the French Revolution.

    		This is real close, because this guy was his father.
    The one I was asking for is the son, called Marie-Jean Hérault de Séchelles.
