Aux enfants du Rhône défenseurs de la Patrie, War memorial in parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon, France.

Aux enfants du Rhône défenseurs de la Patrie is a stone hemicycle with short columns and a curved entablature, fronted by a bronze group by Étienne Pagny: a woman raising a flag, a trumpeter, and a lion breaking a sword by Charles Textor. The pedestal reads "AUX AMANTS DE RHONE DEFENSEURS DE LA PATRIE"; architect Adolphe Coquet, founders the Thiébaut brothers.

Sculptor Etienne Pagny created this memorial and inaugurated it in 1887 to honor soldiers from the Rhône who died in the Franco-Prussian War. The monument was erected decades after the conflict, when remembrance of those losses remained strong.

The full dedication reads "Aux enfants du Rhône défenseurs de la Patrie", and the bronze group carries the motto "pro patria" beside a lion's head. At the 30 October 1887 inauguration, representatives of Belfort attended, the city the Rhône volunteers helped defend in 1870.

The memorial stands on Place du Général-Leclerc, just outside the Porte des Enfants du Rhône at the entrance to the Parc de la Tête d'Or, in Lyon's 6th arrondissement. A low metal fence encloses it on bare ground, so it is seen from the surrounding pavement rather than entered. The stone gate and its pillars beside it are listed as monuments historiques.

The lion at the base, breaking a sword, was carved by Charles Textor, while the architect was Adolphe Coquet and the bronze casting was done by the Thiébaut brothers. The monument was paid for by public subscription, and at its inauguration on 30 October 1887 representatives of Belfort, the city defended by the children of the Rhône, were present.
