A newspaper published most notably by Jacques- René Hébert from 1790 to March 1794, when he was executed. The paper was named after Père Dûchesne, a fictional character who claimed to speak for the sans-culottes of Paris and the popular movement more generally. The paper died with its author, but the figure lived on in French popular culture.
