Is this a monument to victory or a solemn reminder of sacrifice? Right here before us stands the Monument aux morts du Perreux-sur-Marne. This war memorial, completed in 1920, isn’t just a statue. It’s a silent sentinel. A testament to the devastating impact of war on a community. The Monument aux morts du Perreux-sur-Marne was born from a design competition. Initially, a sculptor named Armand Poggi was awarded the commission. However, Poggi’s vision proved too costly to bring to life. The project then passed to the Parisian studio Gausset, Bertand et Cie. They entrusted the final execution to a talented sculptor named Marcel Gaumont. Inaugurated on June 19, 1921, the Monument aux morts du Perreux-sur-Marne stands as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Etched in stone are the names of those from Le Perreux-sur-Marne who made the ultimate sacrifice. The monument serves as a place of remembrance, reflection, and respect. It reminds us to strive for peace and cherish the sacrifices made for our freedom.
