Pyramid memorial of the Battle of Ivry, Historical obelisk in Épieds, France
The commemorative monument stands as a white stone obelisk at the end of a lime tree alley on a hilltop in Normandy.
Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the construction of this obelisk in 1804 to replace an earlier pyramid built by the Count of Eu in 1758.
The monument marks the location where King Henry IV rested after his victory at the Battle of Ivry during the French Wars of Religion.
The obelisk, located at GPS coordinates 48.9224, 1.3987, received extensive restoration work in 2000 following damage from a severe storm.
Despite its current obelisk form, locals continue to call it a pyramid, maintaining the name of the original monument from 1758.
