Général de Gaulle


A statue of Charles de Gaulle found in front of the Grand Palais near the "bottom" of the Champs-Elysées.

The following is inscribed in the base of the statue:

Paris
Paris outragé
Paris brisé
Paris martyrisé
mais Paris libéré


Paris
Paris: Outraged
Paris: Shattered
Paris: Martyred
But Paris: Freed


It's much nicer in French.
