Georges Clemenceau, Bronze monument in Champs-Élysées gardens, Paris, France

The large bronze statue portrays Georges Clemenceau standing in a commanding position near the intersection of Petit Palais and Champs-Élysées gardens.

The statue captures Clemenceau's determined expression, reflecting his reputation as 'The Tiger' for his strong leadership during critical moments in French history.
