The Thermidorians (French: Thermidoriens, named after the month of Thermidor), laterly also Thermidorian Left (French: Gauche thermidorien), was a French political group active during the French Revolution.The group was named for the Thermidorian Reaction in 1794, when its members, led by Paul Barras, Jean-Lambert Tallien and Joseph Fouché, formed a coup d'état against Robespierre and Saint-Just, who were executed with their supporters on 27 July 1794.Over the following days the Thermidorians took over the majority in the National Convention, and in the 1795 a new constitution was created, with the National Convention disestablished for the creation of the French Directory.The Thermidorians became a republican and bourgeoise group, and like the new constitution, also conservative on social themes and liberal on economic themes.After the election of 1795, the Thermidorians obtained the majority in the Council of Five Hundred, the new lower house.
