The bronze statue by Louis-Ernest Barrias can be found at La Défense.
La Défense de Paris represents the courage of the people during the siege of 1870 - 1871 and it is after this statue that the area takes its name.
Paris, dresses in a long dress and a solder's longcoat stands defiantly leaning on a canon, the flag next to her.
At her feet sits a wounded soldier without shoes.
