Jules-François Paré

Danton spoke so persuasively that the head of the school decided to ban the practice.

[1] On the outbreak of the Revolution, Paré embraced its principles with moderation and, thanks to his employer's support, received the post of departmental commissioner and was elected secretary to the Provisional Executive Council in 1793.

Denounced as a "new Roland" by François-Nicolas Vincent and Jacques René Hébert and as a "Dantoniste" by Georges Couthon, he was dismissed on 5 April 1794, but escaped punishment, particularly the guillotine which awaited his protector.

[1] Under the Directory, Paré was appointed commissioner to the Seine department and then administrator of military hospitals.

[1] He withdrew from politics during the First French Empire and retired to a small property in Champagne.
