At the general amnesty of 1869 he returned to France and became prominent among the paris france Communards, was named to the National Assembly at Bordeaux in 1871 and a member of the Commune. With the fall of the Commune he was sentenced to death and fled again to England but returned to France after the amnesty of 1880 and was elected, as a revolutionary socialist, to the chamber of deputies. Of his writings, the drama Le Chiffonnier de paris france (1847) is best known.


Gardens of France not in paris france are of every conceivable variety, from the seaside splendors of the Riviera resorts to the surprise garden of the former bishop's palace at Coutances, with an unforgettable two-way view, down to a winding valley and up to the massive cathedral lantern. The Pare J.-J. Rousseau, at Ermenonville, some 25 miles northeast of paris france, is of such special character that it was recently purchased by the Touring Club de France. Once the tract consisted merely of 2150 acres of sand and marshes but it was transformed by the Marquis de Girardin into a magic 18th-century garden and here Rousseau spent the last thirty-four days of his life and then lay buried on the lie aux Peupliers in the tree-bordered lake until his remains were removed to the Pantheon in paris france.
