Unfortunately, mine are in the states and Numismaster doesn't give the information I need. Does anyone know what the following privy marks are for a French Paris mint 1791 sol?
(he)
(I)
(L)
I can supply pictures of the coin in question later, if it helps!
Thanks!

is that you end up being governed by inferiors. – Plato
(l) looks like a lower case L or an uppper case I, but just so happens to be exactly what is next to Limoges
(L) is for Bayonne
at least starting in the 1800s
I haven't spotted an (he) yet though.

edited to add: Oh, I just saw that your question was in reference to the Paris Mint. Then I have no idea because all I see under the Paris (A) are the individual privy marks like the bee, cornucopia and (ahem) male rooster, 4 letter word starts with c, ends in ck with an o in the middle. I'm sure that one won't get through the filters... Anyway, the letters I looked up are for mints themselves.
Not too sure about privy marks but in the front of France section for the Paris mnt says:
[no picture] Scallop 1740-93 (no name)
[no picture] Lyre 1774-93 Francois Bernier
They are the only ones that cover coins dated 1791 at Paris mint.
Engraver Generals marks are
[no description] 1774-91 Benjamin Duvivier
Dupre or Dupree 1791-93 Augustus Dupre
In the listing for the coin there are the (he), (l) and (L) but doesn't say what they mean.
Not sure if this helps, let me know if there is somewhere else I should be looking.

Just turned the page, seen another Paris mint privey marks. The ones that cover 1791 are:
[Tree picture] Linden tree 1791-93 Jean Dupeyron de la Coste
[bird picture] Heron 1784-91 Jean Dupeyron de la Coste II
[leopard picture] leopard 1791-93 Alexandre roettiers de Montaleau
Think these are what you are after, not sure which is lower or upper case L though.
The coin in question btw:
