About René Ribière
- René Ribière (1922–1998) was a French politician.
- He took part in the last ever duel in France in 1967 and lost when he was lightly injured by Gaston Defferre, after Defferre insulted Ribière at the French parliament.
- Defferre yelled ‘Taisez-vous, abruti!‘ (‘Shut up, stupid!’) at Ribière following an argument in the French National Assembly.
- Ribière demanded an apology, Defferre refused, so Ribière demanded satisfaction by duel with small swords.
- René Ribière lost the duel, having been wounded twice.
- He escaped relatively uninjured, however.
