Théophile Bidard


Théophile Bidard was a French politician and law professor, although he might be most remembered as a principal witness for the prosecution against Hélène Jégado in 1851.
Bidard was born in Rennes in 1804. He sat in the Constituent Assembly from 1848 to 1849 as a moderate republican and in the National Assembly from 1871 to 1876 as a member of the Orléanist parliamentary group, Centre droit.
He served as Mayor of Rennes.
