Présentation de la guillotine conservée grâce à Robert Badinter en 1982

At Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations

Hôtel de Ville

Come face to face with the very guillotine that carried out France's last executions, now frozen in time as a silent witness to the death penalty's abolition. Robert Badinter preserved this haunting 1872 machine in 1982 to embed the memory of capital punishment in our collective conscience.
