This famous instrument of capital punishment was used once in 1889 for the execution of one Auguste Néel for crimes committed in the previous year.

The St-Pierre execution was made famous in 2000 by Patrice Leconte’s movie, La Veuve de Saint-Pierre [The Widow of Saint-Pierre - IMDB], a movie loosely based on fact with Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil and Emir Kusturica.

Being North America’s only guillotine, the Saint-Pierre’s Museum’s exhibit is sure to attract attention, curiosity and interest. Lore and legend surround this guillotine, some claim it was the one used one Marie Antoinette, but records show it was sent to Saint-Pierre town from Martinique in the West Indies.

A mysterious photograph of  Auguste Néel’s mummified head has surfaced. It is rumored to have been taken by Doctor Thomas, a lead doctor in the local hospital, sometime in the early 20’s. [More about this at GrandColombier.com - French Only]
