Louis Dominique Bourguignon, also known as Cartouche (1693–1721, age 27–28), was a highwayman who terrorized the roads around Paris during the Régence until the authorities had him broken on the wheel.

Cartouche's personal dash and exploits were exploited in ballads and popular prints and have been vividly revived in bodice-rippers and the swashbuckling romance with slapstick comedy of the film Cartouche (1962) by Philippe de Broca, starring Jean Paul Belmondo and the twenty-three-year-old Claudia Cardinale.
