Tombeau du général Bonchamps, Memorial tomb in Saint-Florent-le-Vieil Abbey, France.
The marble tomb of General Bonchamps, created by David d'Angers in 1825, lies within the nave of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil Abbey.
General Bonchamps, a leader during the Wars of Vendée, ordered the release of 5000 Republican prisoners before his death following the Battle of Cholet.
This neoclassical sculpture depicts the general on his deathbed, representing a crucial moment in the history of the Vendée region.
The monument can be visited during the abbey's opening hours, located on the heights of the town overlooking the Loire River.
Sculptor David d'Angers created this work in gratitude to the general who had spared his father among the 5000 Republican prisoners.
