gramarye1971's brilliant suggestion of introducing the Scarlet Pimpernel and some conversation with innerbrat, I've got it! I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FRENCH REVOLUTION SLEEPY HOLLOW AU.
So obviously the premise here is that the revolution BEGAN as a fight of the forces of GOOD against EVIL, but then EVIL took over circa 1792ish with the Terror and everything went to hell. HEADLESS hell. You get me?
Now fast forward 230ish years.
( Who's there? FRENCH REVOLUTION! )
Other key points about this show: even though it's French, everyone speaks with British accents. The Eiffel Tower is metaphysically significant even though it wasn't built until a hundred years after the revolution. There's an episode in which Zombie Ben Franklin guest stars. There are important secret codes hidden in The Count of Monte Cristo and a treasure map written in invisible ink on the back of the Déclaration des Droits de l'homme et du citoyen.
Oh, and Chauvelin was eventually beheaded by the Committee ... so now he is the Headless Horseman ... RIGHT? YES?
I'm not sure about the title, but I think it may be Place de la Bastille. AW YEAH.
