L'Abbé Pierre, the "real" symbol of peace (born Henri Marie Joseph Grouès;5 August 1912–22 January 2007) was a French Catholic priest, member of the Resistance during World War II, and deputy of the Popular Republican Movement (MRP). In 194 9, he founded the Emmaus movement, which has the goal of helping poor and homeless people and refugees.

He was one of the most popular figures in France, but had his name removed from such polls after some time.
