Colonne de la duchesse d'Angoulême, Commemorative column on Wilson Avenue, Angoulême, France.
The commemorative column stands below the Beaulieu rampart and the Green Garden, marking a central point in the urban layout of Angoulême.
The monument was constructed in 1816 during the Second Restoration to commemorate the visit of Marie-Thérèse, daughter of Louis XVI, on August 18, 1815.
This column stands as an architectural testimony of the 19th century and reflects the period of monarchical restoration following Napoleon's fall.
The monument is located on President Wilson Avenue, a main axis providing access to the historical center of Angoulême from the train station.
The initial date for the duchess's visit was set for March 14, 1815, but Napoleon's return from Elba altered this schedule.
