Rouen, Public statue in Place de la Concorde, Paris, France

The Rouen statue depicts a seated woman figure created by Jean-Pierre Cortot, positioned among other regional representations at Place de la Concorde in Paris.

The statue was completed in 1836 during a major urban decoration project of Place de la Concorde, supervised by architect Jacques Hittorff between 1833 and 1846.

This neoclassical sculpture represents the city of Rouen as part of eight statues symbolizing major French cities, demonstrating the connection between Paris and regional centers.

Located in the 8th arrondissement, the statue offers wheelchair accessibility and stands near several transportation options connecting to central Paris attractions.

Jean-Pierre Cortot created two statues for Place de la Concorde: Rouen and Brest, making these works particularly connected in the square's artistic arrangement.
