The State Museum of St Pierre and Miquelon has put the island's
guillotine on permanent exhibit. 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.
