Monument au Tambour d'Arcole, Bronze memorial in Cadenet, France
The Monument au Tambour d'Arcole stands in the center of Cadenet, featuring a bronze statue designed by architect Jean Barnabé Amy in 1894.
The monument commemorates André Estienne, who swam across the Alpone River with his drum during the Battle of Arcole in 1796, contributing to Napoleon's victory.
The monument represents a testament to French military heritage, with Frédéric Mistral composing a special Provençal poem for its inauguration.
Visitors can locate the monument at coordinates 43.7346653, 5.373641, in the main square of Cadenet, where it received historical monument status in 2009.
Local resistance members saved the statue from German forces in 1943 by hiding it underground until its restoration in October 1945.
