Rouen, Public statue in Place de la Concorde, Paris, France
The Rouen statue is a sculpture at Place de la Concorde created by Jean-Pierre Cortot, depicting a seated female figure. It stands among other works representing French cities and contributes to the neoclassical artistic character of the square.
The work was created in 1836 during a major renovation of Place de la Concorde overseen by architect Jacques Hittorff. This artistic decoration was part of a broader beautification effort that transformed the square between 1833 and 1846.
The statue depicts a seated female figure representing the city of Rouen as one of eight sculptures honoring major French cities. This grouping illustrates the link between Paris and France's regional centers.
The statue stands in the 8th arrondissement of Paris and is wheelchair accessible for visitors with mobility needs. Its proximity to multiple transportation options makes it easy to reach from other central attractions.
Jean-Pierre Cortot created two statues for Place de la Concorde: Rouen and Brest, connecting these works artistically within the square. This pairing of city representations reflects a deliberate composition by the sculptor.
