Aux enfants du Rhône défenseurs de la Patrie
Aux enfants du Rhône défenseurs de la Patrie, War memorial in parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon, France.
The bronze and stone monument features military figures representing the young defenders of the Rhône region standing in a group formation.
Sculptor Étienne Pagny created this memorial to commemorate the soldiers from Rhône who fought in the Franco-Prussian War, inaugurating it on October 30, 1887.
The memorial stands as a central point for commemorative ceremonies and serves as a reminder of the military contributions from the Rhône department.
Visitors can access the monument through multiple entrances of the parc de la Tête d'Or, with the main gate located near the intersection of Boulevard des Belges.
The monument combines classical sculptural elements with military symbolism, using different materials to create contrasts between the bronze figures and stone base.
