The name of the mayor of Vigau.


Jean Valjean was his real name, but how was he addressed to when he was a worker in Vigau and later mayor? They always called him "monsieur le maire", but what did he say was his name? Did I missed this?

"I am God's lonely man."

Check out wiki for a list of his aliases but I think a few are left out. He was known as Msr. Madeleine as mayor though.

Like your OP says, his name was "Monsieur Le Mayor."

I think that was his title; (translated)"Mr Mayor", but the name he adopted was Madeleine.
