Monument à Francis Garnier, Bronze sculpture in 6th arrondissement, France.
The Monument à Francis Garnier features a central bust accompanied by bronze figures representing rivers, with one holding an oar and another draping over an urn.
The remains of Francis Garnier, returned from Vietnam in 1983, were placed within the monument's base during an official ceremony held in April 1987.
Created by sculptor Denys Puech in 1898, the monument displays allegorical figures that symbolize geographical exploration and maritime achievements of the 19th century.
The monument stands at Place Camille Jullian, at the intersection of Rue Notre Dame des Champs and Rue d'Assas, near metro lines 4 and 6.
One of the bronze figures leans on a globe depicting Asia while extending a laurel branch toward Garnier's representation, marking his exploration of the Mekong River.
