Monument Pershing - Lafayette, War memorial at Avenue des États-Unis, Versailles, France
The monument features two concrete pedestals facing each other across Avenue des États-Unis, supporting equestrian statues of Generals Pershing and Lafayette.
The memorial, designed by architect Jacques Carlu in 1937, commemorates the American army contributions in World War I and French support during American independence.
The permanent statues of Generals Pershing and Lafayette, installed in 2017, represent the long-standing military cooperation between France and the United States.
The monument and its surrounding esplanade remain accessible throughout the year, with detailed documentation available at Médiathèque du patrimoine in Charenton-le-Pont.
The original plaster statue of General Pershing, created by sculptor Joachim Costa, deteriorated significantly and was removed in 1941, leaving the memorial incomplete for decades.
