Gonne was deeply involved in the Irish independence movement, editing the French language nationalist newspaper L'Irlande Libre in the run-up to the centennial of the 1798 Rebellion.
Gonne left Millevoye in the summer of 1900 and returned to Ireland with Iseult. From 1898 until his death in 1918 Millevoye served as the deputy for Paris, where he died on 25 March 1918.
