French Politician. After serving in the Franco-German war, he joined the Paris Commune. This was a radical junket that attempted to rule Paris and did so for two months. Once suppressed by the legitimate French government, Joffrin fled to England where he stayed eleven years as a political exile. Returning to France, he became a member of the council of Paris in 1885 and later vice-president. Libeled by the publication "L'Intransigeant and La France," he sued and won. A Paris metro station is named in his honor.
