Monument to Jules Ferry, Marble statue in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France
The Monument to Jules Ferry features a central figure standing on a podium, accompanied by two female figures and a young boy at its base.
The monument, designed by French sculptor Gustave Michel and completed in 1906, commemorates Jules Ferry's role in establishing public education during the Third Republic.
The statue represents the establishment of free, mandatory, and secular education in France through the Jules Ferry Laws of 1881 and 1882.
Located near the Large Round Basin, this 6.35-meter-tall marble monument provides wheelchair access through designated pathways in the Tuileries Garden.
Two million French schoolchildren contributed funds for this monument through a national subscription organized by the League of Education.
