'''Jules Vallès''' (1832–1885) was a French [[journalist]], author, and [[Left-wing politics|left-wing]] political activist.

In 1883 he was entirely successful in restarting ''Le Cri du Peuple'' as a voice for [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] and [[socialist]] ideas. At the same time he became increasingly ill with [[diabetes]]. During a health crisis in November 1884, he was taken to the house of doctor Guebhard and his secretary [[Séverine]]. He assigned [[Hector Malot]] to be the executor of his will and died on 14 February 1885.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}

His funeral was also a major public event, attracting a procession of some 60,000 following the coffin to [[Père Lachaise Cemetery]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cDGdDwAAQBAJ&q=Jules+Vall%C3%A8s+funeral&pg=PA57|title=Revolutionary Thought after the Paris Commune, 1871-1885|last=Nicholls|first=Julia|date=2019-07-18|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-108-49926-2|language=en}}</ref>
