Place Gambetta in Bordeaux

Posted 1 year ago by avatar marcelus in response to posteye's question: I lerned something at school about a guillotine placed in Bordeaux. Where can I see that? Awesome!!! (give a different answer) .

That was during the Regime of Terror that followed the Revolution, sweetheart...They've taken it out since then. It was in Place Gambetta, right in the city centre, and indeed it caused some 300 heads of contra-revolutionaries to fall. Now, it's a green island smack in heart of the centre's hustle and bustle...
