Pomnik Michela Neya w Paryżu, Bronze monument at Boulevard du Montparnasse, France
The bronze statue depicts Marshal Michel Ney in military attire, standing atop a stone pedestal with engravings detailing his battle participation at Dresden and Waterloo.
The monument, inaugurated on December 7, 1853, marks the exact location where Marshal Ney was executed by firing squad in 1815 after Napoleon's defeat.
Sculptor François Rude modified the initial design to show Ney as a commanding military leader rather than depicting his final moments before execution.
The monument sits at the intersection of Boulevard du Montparnasse and Avenue de l'Observatoire, accessible via Metro lines 4 and 6.
The statue underwent relocation in 1892 to accommodate the extension of the Paris-Sceaux railway line, moving to the opposite side of Avenue de l'Observatoire.
