The Triumph of the Republic, Bronze monument at Place de la Nation, France
Le Triomphe de la République, also known as *The Triumph of the Republic*, is a monumental bronze work at Place de la Nation in Paris. The group depicts a female allegory on a chariot drawn by lions, surrounded by other figures embodying different social forces.
Jules Dalou designed the work in 1880 for a competition celebrating the establishment of the French Republic. The final bronze version was unveiled in 1899 and marked an important moment in the political life of the Third Republic.
The full title, *Le Triomphe de la République*, reflects the intention to make republican ideals tangible through symbolic figures. Visitors today observe how Labor, Justice, and Peace surround the central allegory, presenting the values of the Third Republic in public space.
The monument stands in the center of the square and is accessible from all sides, with the sidewalk leading around it. The Nation metro station offers several exits that ease access to the square and allow different viewpoints.
Georges Gardet added bronze crocodiles to the base in 1908, serving as symbols for enemies of the Republic. These elements disappeared during World War II and have been absent ever since.
