Statue of General Desaix in Clermont-Ferrand
Statue of General Desaix in Clermont-Ferrand, Bronze statue in Place de Jaude, Clermont-Ferrand, France
The General Desaix statue stands on a granite pedestal, featuring the military leader in his period uniform with detailed bronze craftsmanship.
The General Council of Puy-de-Dôme commissioned the statue in 1838, and sculptor Charles-François Lebœuf completed the work in Paris by 1844.
The monument faces the Vercingetorix statue across Place de Jaude, creating a dialogue between two significant French military figures through centuries.

The statue received its current elevated granite pedestal in 1903, replacing the original brick and wood base used during its 1848 inauguration.
