The stone statue of St Bernard is located in one of the many insets outside the Madeleine church.
St Bernard holds a cross high with his left hand and points to it with his right. He is wearing his habit. St. Bernard lived from 1090 - 1153. He led the reform of the Benedictinian Order and was nominated to help chose between two potential candidates for the papal position.
The statue has been made by Honoré Jean-Aristide Husson in 1842.
