The Bonnot Gang originally consisted of a group of French anarchists centered around the individualist anarchist magazine L’Anarchie. The group was founded by Octave Garnier, Raymond Callemin, and René Valet. It was Garnier's idea to use automobiles in the service of a daring criminal act. Jules Bonnot joined them in December 1911.
