Bronze statue of two young men in Jardin du Luxembourg. One is falling, the other stands proud.
The statue 'Monument to the students who died during the Resistance' (1956) by Gaston Watkin stands close to the Sorbonne.
The sculptor took his inspiration for the statue from a Partisan song ' Ami, si tu tombes, un ami sort de l'ombre et prend ta place' (Friend, when you fall, a friend will step out of the shadow and take your place).
