Monument to Léon Gambetta, Bronze and stone memorial in Édouard-Vaillant Square, Paris, France

The monument features a central stone figure of Gambetta surrounded by soldiers, with a pyramidal structure reaching 27 meters in height.

Inaugurated in 1888 at the Tuileries Garden, the monument commemorates French statesman Léon Gambetta, who established the Third Republic in 1870.

The artistic design combines Jean-Paul Aubé's sculptures with Louis-Charles Boileau's architectural elements, representing French political transformation through art.

The memorial stands in the 20th district of Paris near Place Gambetta, accessible through multiple public transportation routes.

The bronze components were removed in 1941 for metal recovery by the Vichy regime, leaving only parts of the central group in the current location.

Location: 20th arrondissement of Paris

Creator: Jean-Paul Aubé, Louis-Charles Boileau

Made from material: stone
