Monument aux Morts de Montauban, War memorial at Cours Foucault, Montauban, France.

The monument features a bronze sculpture depicting victorious France, flanked by shields representing Law and a serpent symbolizing intelligence.

The Montauban committee commissioned this monument in August 1921 from sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, and its inauguration took place on November 13, 1932.

The names of Montauban soldiers who died during both World Wars, the Indochina War, and Algeria are engraved on the monument's base.

The main statue, cast in 1925, integrates into a columned temple with an altar of the dead, creating a notable architectural composition.
