Don't know where i read this so if on CC please excuse this.
The last time someone in France was executed by guillotine was September 1977.
I googled it, he was a really nasty piece of work.

It was 1977, and he really was a nsty piece of work who deserved having his head stitched back on and chopped off repeatedly.

Last public execution in France by guillotine was pre-war (Christopher Lee was a witness), apparently the behaviour of the crowd was such that the government banned public executions thereafter.
