And it was abolished in 1981, if I remember correctly. After Giscard d'Estaing, at the beginning of Mitterrand. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's creepy because I was born in France in 1978, it's so weird to be born in a country that had death penalty.

Fun fact: it didn't take one swing from the metal to cut the head off like you see in the movies. It took as well as 11 hits to the neck to decapitate

That's true for axe beheadings, but guillotines were made specifically to avoid this tedium.

When it was used on murderers or rapists they would be forced to face up to watch it comedown on them
