Pomnik Michela Neya w Paryżu, Bronze monument at Boulevard du Montparnasse, France

The Michel Ney Monument in Paris is a bronze statue at the intersection of Boulevard du Montparnasse and Avenue de l'Observatoire, portraying a high-ranking military officer in full uniform standing on a stone base. Inscriptions on the pedestal reference two major battles from his military career.

Marshal Michel Ney was shot on 7 December 1815 at this spot, then part of the Luxembourg Gardens avenue. François Rude designed the monument, unveiled on 7 December 1853 under the Second Empire. Napoleon III personally intervened, rejecting Rude's first proposal showing Ney before the firing squad as too controversial, and approved the heroic pose.

Auguste Rodin called this work the best monument in Paris. In Hemingway's novels, two characters meet beneath the statue, and in A Moveable Feast one of them raises a toast to Ney. The monument stands where the marshal was executed on 7 December 1815.

The monument sits at a major intersection and is easy to reach by public transit, particularly by metro. The location is in a busy neighborhood with many cafes and other attractions nearby.

Auguste Rodin called this monument the finest in all of Paris. In Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, a character raises a toast to Ney beneath the statue. The sculptor François Rude, who also carved La Marseillaise on the Arc de Triomphe, first proposed showing Ney before the firing squad; Napoleon III rejected that design as too controversial.
