Monument to Eugène Flachat, Memorial building in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France
The monument features a marble and stone bust with four bas-reliefs depicting themes of labor, conversation, earth, and work at the intersection of Rue Flachat.
Created in 1897 by sculptor Alfred Boucher and architect Gaston Trélat, the monument honors engineer Eugène Flachat, who developed major French railway lines.
The bas-reliefs carved into the pedestal represent the values of industrialization and engineering progress in nineteenth-century France through allegorical figures.
Located at the corner of Rue Verniquet and Rue Flachat, the monument stands as an outdoor exhibition piece maintained by the City of Paris.
The pedestal inscription 'A FLACHAT INGENIEUR' commemorates the engineer who constructed France's first railway from Paris to Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
