Presentation
Ginot was a 19th-century bandit who spread fear all the way to Lyon. But in his homeland of Les Avenières, he was an outlaw who had a heart.
Ginot would say: "As long as my name is Ginot, no harm will come to the people of Les Avenières".
He was sent to the guillotine in Lyon after being accused of two murders committed in the city. Many are those who say he never killed anyone.
