the Oath of Jean Guiton (1585 -1654) lent to the Hotel de Ville on May 2, 1628 at the Siege de La Rochelle. When he agreed to become mayor, he declared that he would pierce the heart of the first person who would speak of surrender. Legend has it that on these words he wield his dagger and suddenly blow a marble shatch off his table. We see him here, in his office, in front of an assembly of echevins, and near this table where the dagger is laid - engraving from “The history of France told to my grandchildren”” - by Francois Guizot - 1872-1876
