Georges Clemenceau, Bronze monument in Champs-Élysées gardens, Paris, France
The monument depicts Georges Clemenceau as a bronze figure standing upright in the Champs-Élysées gardens near the Petit Palais. It sits at a central location within this famous Parisian district.
The bronze sculpture was created in 1932 by artist François-Victor Cogné to honor the French Prime Minister who guided the nation through World War I. He went on to sign the Treaty of Versailles, a pivotal document in European post-war history.
The statue occupies a central spot that locals and visitors pass daily, marking its importance as a public memorial. It becomes a focal point during November remembrance ceremonies when crowds gather to honor this influential leader.
The monument is easy to reach since it sits directly along the Champs-Élysées and near several bus stops and the Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau metro station. Visitors can view the statue free of charge and at any time of day.
The figure captures Clemenceau with a resolute expression, reflecting his nickname "The Tiger" given for his forceful leadership during difficult times. This gives the sculpture a particular intensity that visitors often sense instinctively.
