Monument commémoratif de la Première Victoire de la Marne
Monument commémoratif de la Première Victoire de la Marne, Historical monument in Mondement-Montgivroux, France.
The monument stands 35.5 meters tall on a hill reaching 209 meters, featuring relief sculptures depicting the generals of the battle of the Marne.
Construction began in 1931 under architect Paul Bigot and sculptor Henri Bouchard, but the inauguration was delayed until 1951 due to World War II.
The structure includes a winged Victory statue and inscriptions honoring the military commanders who participated in the 1914 Battle of the Marne.
Visitors can access the site freely and use an orientation table to understand the layout of former battle lines in the surrounding landscape.
The gates of the neighboring castle and walls of the local church still bear projectile marks from the September 1914 battle.
