    It is interesting to note that the mentioned "Monsieur de Paris" in this video was at the time Jules-Henri Desfourneaux. Desfourneaux came from a long line of executioners who rendered their services to the French justice system for centuries. One execution he'd performed in 1939 (Which would end up becoming France's last public execution) was witnessed by 17 year-old Christopher Lee, who would go on to become a very distinguished actor.

    And for Germaine ... What a horrible woman. Cheating is already as low as you can go, but cheating and then murder your husband is sinking to hell.

Never to see each other again, but carrying on with life as THEY WANTED TO. Whether that be participating in drugs or being a sexual deviant or whatever you feel like doing.
      Or.....Am I Missing Something???
      Is There A Law I'm Unaware of That States YOU HAVE TO KILL Your Spouse in Order to END YOUR RELATIONSHIP???

      ​@karenwebb2796 I know divorce wasn't as easy of a thing, in the past. Leaving your spouse was as good as a death sentence for many women who would be shunned by their families and society and left to starve.
      I have absolutely NO idea why these things still happen in modern society. Just evil and a messed up mind. Sometimes people want to erase their entire past by killing the spouse and the children, as if friends and family wouldn't notice them no longer around or the living spouse running off with a new relationship. Boggles the mind!

    What a fascinating case! 👍 It's clear that Germaine wasn't the brightest spark. How ever did she hope to get away with such a clumsy murder!
    The idea she was given brief notice at 4am on the very day of her execution kind of unnerves me.
    Same-day executions happen in Japan to this day. Two inmates who are actually suing the government for compensation, claiming this practice to be "extremely inhumane" and something that greatly affects the mental health of prisoners as they have no chance to contemplate the end of their lives and prepare for it! They live in fear that every day might be their last! They can't even see family (who are only told AFTER the execution).
    I can understand this is tough.. but these murderers really should have thought about it before committing such cruel, cold-blooded crimes and causing such pain to family members of their victims! 🙋🏻‍♀️

      The answer to that is usually money. If a person were to divorce their spouse, they stood the chance of losing some/all of their possessions. Remember too the time period. Divorce was heavily stigmatized and (depending on religion) a major sin.
      Personally, I feel if open marriages were more widely accepted/ normalized, a good percentage of crime associated with “cheating” wouldn’t exist. Lucky for divorce lawyers, humans are a possessive species.

      @@EclecticDD I have found it. The last guillotine execution in France was on September 10, 1977. And the movie I mentioned didn't claim that it was the last execution. It just stated that Emile Buisson was executed on Februari 28, 1956. France has abolished the death penalty in 1981.

    i mean, for countries with the death penalty, i fully advocate for bringing back the guillotine. much dramatic, very effective and far less chance of going horribly wrong, unlike other methods… *_cough_*_ lethal injection_

      Who gives a damn about deterrent or the repugnant excuse of morality when at the State level, it's about ethics??? If you can't "salvage" the individual to be returned to a decent life and trusted through that life to live IN SUPPORT of the society he or she has openly condemned in violence, then why punish the rest who might be salvaged or those of us who ABIDE the laws and culture and keep our noses clean???
      If you're so g** d*** sure that capital punishment is so wrong, then YOU GO ADOPT the prisoners and YOU take full responsibility for them. Put YOUR ASS on the line or shut the hell up! I've heard the rest of the sad and tired refrain already. ;o)

      @@basbleupeaunoire In some cases it's just to remove the person from existence. People like Jeffrey Dahmer should have just been executed. Also, execution is extremely effective if used against certain people. You start executing bankers and politicians, watch how fast they'll stop committing crimes.

      @@basbleupeaunoire i am neither advocating nor condoning the death penalty, simply stating that it would be a reliable (and in some ways more humane) option in countries that _do_ use it. one of my major issues with the death penalty in practice is the methods, which can be pretty awful :/

    Actually, the epithet 'Monsieur de Paris' dates back to when each major city had its own executioner, and said executioner was called 'Monsieur de' and the city where he worked. I can't say if it's ironic, but it could be understood as 'lord of Paris'... the de being also the particle of nobility.

    Don’t lose your head over an older married man. Don’t give (your) head to someone else’s husband. Don’t shave off hairs or years to receive (a) head head from someone other than your husband. It’s not worth your while to flatten your smile to own a business or get ahead. Keep your eyes open and your ears keen. Wash your nose clean and wash your neck. Always look up, so that your aren’t forced to look down and take a cranial tumble. “Till death do us part…”. Get a divorce or a trial. separation instead of risking permanent separation. Don’t use an axe or you might get the blade. “Measure twice./Cut once.”
    These are, I suppose, my “razors,” sharp words to long live by lest we quickly die.

    As usual, excellent presentation. Proper pronunciation of our English language is so important, and (if I'm right, you're Scotch?) your innate facility to use consonants properly means this - and all your super videos - are a tremendously fulfilling watch. Only thing to be alert on: (maybe auto-generated) Yank shoddy spelling e.g. "ax" for axe or "meters" for metres. Good work. Love your channel!
