Best Answer

The Girondins and Jacobins are one and the same; the Girondins are members of the Jacobin club. However the difference is the leading influential figures within the Jacobin club which caused a divide in ideology and resulting in two split groups; the Girondins and Montagnards.

The Girondins are most famously associated with Brissot, hence their alternative name Brissotins.Whilst, the Montagnards were under the main influence of Robespierre. Heavily simplifying the difference between the Girondins and Montagnards; the Girondins were more conservative in ideas while the Montagnards were more radical, favouring total republicanism.
