I asked "google" if the French still used the guillotine.

"Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the “National Razor” after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine's 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment for good."

THIS might be the straw that breaks the camel's back...and the French might start hectoring their leaders to "bring back the blade." I wouldn't blame them.
