" Les hautes oeuvres �taient les t�ches assur�es par le bourreau en tant qu'ex�cuteur de la haute justice: bannissement, ch�timents corporels, torture, mise � mort, exposition au pilori... Charles-Henri Sanson, n� le 15 f�vrier 1739 et mort le 4 juillet 1806, est un bourreau fran�ais, officiellement ex�cuteur des hautes oeuvres de Paris, sous les r�gnes des rois Louis XV et Louis XVI, puis sous la Premi�re R�publique fran�aise. Il est surtout connu pour avoir d�capit� le roi Louis XVI ainsi que diff�rents r�volutionnaires comme Danton, Camille Desmoulins ou Robespierre. Issu d'une famille de bourreaux, il a administr� la peine capitale durant plus de quarante ann�es et a ex�cut� de sa propre main pr�s de 3 000 personnes. Dans ses m�moires longtemps rest�es in�dites, il retrace la vie sous la R�volution fran�aise lors de la Terreur et de la guillotine. Nourri d'anecdotes sur les supplici�s dont il eut la charge cet ouvrage est devenu un classique de l'histoire de la peine capitale."
