José-Maria de Heredia, Bronze bust monument in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France
The statue features a central bronze bust measuring 0.6 meters, mounted on a marble pedestal reaching a total height of 3.2 meters.
Victor Segoffin completed this sculpture in 1925, and its inauguration ceremony took place on October 17, the same day the sculptor passed away.
The monument pays tribute to José-Maria de Heredia, a Cuban-born French poet who became a member of the Académie française in 1894.
The statue stands in the southwestern section of Luxembourg Gardens, accessible during park hours from early morning until evening throughout the year.
The monument's inauguration included plans for a replica in Santiago de Cuba, connecting French and Cuban cultural heritage through this artistic work.
