Pershing - Lafayette monument

Pershing - Lafayette monument

 

The Pershing - Lafayette monument is a memorial erected in 1937 in the heights of Versailles, in tribute to the American army during the First World War and to the Army of the American Independence War.

This monument, unfinished, has two concrete sockets facing each other on both sides of the avenue of the United States.

They are in fact pedestals which had to support the equestrian statues of General Pershing and Lafayette.

The monument, its esplanade and the perimeter raised, as well as the road that crosses it are the subject of an inscription in the title of historical monuments since March 7, 2007.
