There were several revolutions. Les Misérables takes place during the 1830-1832 revolutionary riots and it was written after the 1848 revolution.
Regarding the 1789 revolution, though, there are several debates: was it really a revolution led by poor people or by bourgeois wanting to gain more power? could the Terror have been avoided? etc...
Some deliberately paint the revolutionaries (Robespierre, for one) as blood-thirsty pre-communists. Others want to justify their actions, and n popular culture, revolutionaries are certainly more romanticised than the monarchy, even in films about the monarchy during that time. But it's mainly a debate between historians and writers. A politically charged one, admittedly: in some areas of the country, where the counter-revolution was strong, you're more likely to find monuments and traces recalling the counter-revolutionaries, areas that are today rather more Catholic and rather more right-winged. In my area, exclusively made of poor farmers, we burned down almost every castle we could find. We are rather more left-winged and rather less Catholic, even today.
