Statue du maréchal de Tourville, Naval memorial in Tourville-sur-Sienne, France.

The statue of Marshal de Tourville is a Carrara marble figure by Joseph Charles Marin, made in 1816, standing on Place Léon-Paul-Legraverend. The admiral wears 17th-century naval dress with long curled hair, a sash and buckled shoes; his right hand holds a telescope and his left rests on a draped flag. The base is inscribed TOURVILLE, with a plaque naming him comte de Tourville, maréchal de France and vice-amiral des armées navales.

Napoleon ordered statues for the Pont de la Concorde; under the Restoration these were replaced by figures of Ancien Régime glories, and Joseph Charles Marin carved this marble in 1816. It was placed under the bridge in 1828, moved to the Château de Versailles in 1832 after the Bourbons fell, and reached Tourville-sur-Sienne in 1931. It was inscribed as a monument historique on 18 August 2006 and restored in 2016.

The square is named Place Léon-Paul-Legraverend, after a local figure, and the marble statue of Tourville, born in 1642 and made marshal of France, has stood there since 1931. The base carries his full titles, from comte de Tourville to vice-amiral des armées navales, and the carved forms at his feet suggest a ship's prow.

The marble statue stands outdoors on Place Léon-Paul-Legraverend in Tourville-sur-Sienne, on a pedestal with an inscribed plaque, so it can be viewed at any time from the square. The square is in the village centre, a short walk from the surrounding streets.

The statue was carved in 1816 by Joseph Charles Marin, a French sculptor, not an Italian one. It was restored in 2016, not 2015. The marble shows dark green spots and streaks, and the pedestal plaque names Tourville as count and Marshal of France, vice-admiral of the naval armies.
