Monument aux combattants de la Haute-Garonne, War memorial and historical monument in Allées François-Verdier, Toulouse, France.

The memorial features eight tall stone columns leading to a pediment, decorated with bas-reliefs and inscriptions of significant battlefields.

Completed in 1928, the monument differs from traditional war memorials by celebrating both fallen soldiers and survivors of World War I.

Artists Camille Raynaud, Henri-Raphaël Moncassin, and André Abbal created sculptures under architect Léon Jaussely's direction for this French military tribute.

November 11 ceremonies take place at this monument, which stands near the Cathedral of Saint Stephen and various dining establishments.

In August 2023, engineers moved the entire structure 35 meters to accommodate the construction of François-Verdier metro station.
