Monument to Maréchal Moncey, Military memorial at Place de Clichy, France

The Monument to Maréchal Moncey stands 14 meters tall at Place de Clichy, constructed from cast iron and stone with detailed sculptural elements.

The monument, inaugurated in 1869, commemorates Marshal Moncey's defense of Paris against Cossack forces during the invasion of 1814.

The pedestal features a reproduction of Horace Vernet's painting 'La barrière de Clichy' depicting Marshal Moncey leading his troops into battle.

Located at the intersection of four Parisian arrondissements, the monument serves as a central reference point for navigation through northern Paris.

The monument's design underwent significant changes when sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's original dynamic concept was replaced by Amédée Doublemard's traditional approach.
