Statue du Général Cambronne, Bronze military memorial in Cours Cambronne, Nantes, France.

The statue depicts General Pierre Cambronne stepping over a broken cannon while holding a sword and a flag staff in military attire.

Inaugurated on July 28, 1848, this monument commemorates General Cambronne's defense during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

The statue represents French military determination through General Cambronne's famous declaration that the guard would die rather than surrender.

Located in central Nantes, the memorial welcomes visitors daily from 8:45 AM to 7:30 PM and includes complete wheelchair access.

The statue stands in a courtyard that changed names multiple times, from Cours de la République to Cours Impérial and Cours Henri IV.
