Camille Raspail (1827-1893) was a French doctor and politician in the National Assembly as a deputy from Var, from 1885 until his death in 1893.[1] Son of François-Vincent Raspail, he practiced medicine for 44 years.[2] He is buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery, with a three-quarter bronze bust on his tomb. On the tomb are engravings explaining he was commander in chief of the southern forts during the Siege of Paris in 1870-1871, as well as a doctor and deputy for Var. His tomb also has a bronze medallion showing a left-facing profile, along with a profile of his widow and an oak leaf crown.[2]
