Bust of Général de Reffye, Bronze sculpture in Tarbes, France.

The bronze bust of General de Reffye stands against a fountain, creating a permanent memorial in an outdoor setting at Cours Reffye.

Henri Nelli crafted this bronze monument in 1883 to honor General de Reffye, who established the Tarbes Arsenal in 1871 for military engineering.

The sculpture represents the French tradition of commemorating military leaders through public art, reflecting the strong connection between Tarbes and military history.

Located at coordinates 43.232083, 0.072167, the bust remains accessible to visitors exploring the military heritage sites of Tarbes.

After the original bronze bust was melted during World War II, officials transferred a replacement from the general's tomb in Versailles to Tarbes.
